Character Development

Breathing life into the characters in your stories through realistic dialogue, description and action.

Character Development

The purpose of this group is to create and improve fictional characters for all styles, genres, and forms of writing. Round or flat, static or dynamic-- they’re all vitally important to the story. We can build character backgrounds, practice writing their dialogue, share our interpretations of character descriptions, compare them to people we know in real life, role-play, you name it. Bring your characters and a creative mind. Write, read, and discuss.

What's new in Character Development?

OK, in the interest of the great 2010 smac972 consolidation and streamlining for maximum impact (CSFMI'10!), I'm thinking a little group mandate may be in order.

If you're stuck with a character, can't get in their head, or maybe wondering if your dialog is sounding "forced", "fake" or needs some pop, feel free to lay it all out.

In the grand truth that is, "Those that don't do, teach", I'll try to help alongside the best of us.

And, if you have any collaborative story challenges or ideas that are heavy on character, dialog or both, here's the place to pitch them!

Contact me at smac972@hotmail.com with any ideas or what have you's.

By the way, if I hear vampire or werewolf, I'll leave my comment now: It's overdone.
