COMMENTARY
Characters are what make a book, novel, or story interesting.
A boring and uninteresting character makes for a poor story
and readers will quickly put it down and move on to something
else.
Everyone likes particular types of characters that they can mold into
whateever image they desire. I like weak people who are
dominated by stronger characters for a time. Eventually, they
develop their strength and resolve to live life without being a
co-dependent of the strong protagonist.
One such character is Daphne, a young woman in on of my short stories
who trying to find out who she is. She is being pulled by forces and people
stronger than herself. In the end, Daphne not only discovers who she is,
but she lives her life on her own terms. I have a belief that no matter how
far down a person is, they can rise above their circumstances and live creative
and fulfilling lives.
It is important to create characters who are believeable. We like our characters
to be someone with whom we can identify with at some point. We want to root for
that person to succeed or we want a character to get their just rewards. Whoever
the character, make them memorable and believeable.
