Characters: One of the most important things when it comes to writing. If you don’t have well-written characters the story becomes irrelevant. At the same time, creating characters is also one the most difficult things, they essentially are human beings that you have to create out of thin air and then somehow convince a reader that these people are real.
However, I think every writer has developed some kind of system and this is mine:
- Start with the basics.
There are worksheet’s you can find on the internet that list most of these basic things that hold importance. For example, eye colour, hair colour, height, weight, etc. you should also include things like what the character wears, common stances, and expressions.
