Along with a clever plot, well-drawn characters make us want to continue reading a novel or finish watching a movie. In Creating Characters, Dwight V. Swain shows how writers can invent interesting characters and improve them so that they move a story along. ""The core of character,"" he says in chapter 1, ""lies in each individual story person's ability to care about something; to feel implicitly or explicitly, that something is important."" Building on that foundation - the capacity to care - Swain takes the would-be writer step-by-step through the fundamentals of finding and developing ""characters who turn you on."" This basic but thought-provoking how-to is a valuable tool for both the novice and the seasoned writer.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 13mmAuthor: Dwight V.
