Eventually, you have most likely additionally experienced a book in which the greater part of the characters sounded the same.<br /><br /><a href="http://cheapessaywritingservice.us/" rel="nofollow">visit here</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530292844743903613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467549889510324132.post-40161112276677090972015-07-07T04:50:09.468-05:002015-07-07T04:50:09.468-05:00This is great advice!

I've read a few books lately where certain traits were so heavily emphasised that, because we were only ever seeing the one point of view, ended up making the character, and ultimately the book, fall flat. Interestingly, it's also something I struggle with in the first few drafts of a book, as I'm still in the stages of figuring the character out. The nuances - as you notes Eli's deepening halfway through - have to be teased out over time.<br /><br />Lindsey - Adventures in Young Adult PublishingLindsey Hodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812921644348996194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467549889510324132.post-75403243549660909922015-07-04T20:59:57.440-05:002015-07-04T20:59:57.440-05:00...THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Especially bad guys. I respect villains who stay true to form as a reader, but only when the author's taken the time to show me why this person is the way they are. <br /><br />Deep characters are pretty much the solution to every problem :DRachel Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13917123007610750274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467549889510324132.post-73659424791056077392015-07-01T13:36:41.874-05:002015-07-01T13:36:41.874-05:00"Readers love this stuff.

It works for very nasty characters as well, antagonists (but not only, nuissance characters sometimes too), where showing they have a humane, kind, maybe even lovable (or at least pittiable) side gives them a lot of depth without needing a lot of extra page time.<br /><br />I love doing that, especially starting out that way so that readers don't even know that character is a "bad guy" until he does something really appaling... that FITS his character.Veronica Sicoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741318844378921184noreply@blogger.com
