In this episode, I discuss 5 simple strategies for adding depth to your characters. I support my examples with characters from popular literature including The Great Gatsby, Me Before You, Harry Potter, and It Ends With Us.
1) Deep characters have intricate backstories that are well-explored
2) Deep characters always reflect the theme
3) Deep characters have deep relationships with other characters
4) Deep characters are motivated by goals that consume them
5) Deep characters are highly flawed
I created the Turn Write Podcast for beginning writers, indie authors, for people who are looking for their voice and who want to know how to use it. The idea for this bite-sized podcast came to me as I sat in endless traffic commuting an hour each way to and from my 9-5 job, wondering why do I write? Why do I rush home every day with the agonizing hope of trying to string together meaningless words to create a feeling deeper than I could dare hope to describe? Well, day after day I kept thinking and there was only one answer: I loved to write. I am on a journey to becoming a published author, and I want to help you get there too.
