Character Depth: Keeping readers riveted with real characters, emotion & deep POV

By Jordan McCollum

Book Overview

Does your character come to life, bounding off the page and into your readers' hearts and minds? Or is he flatter than a paper pancake? A well-rounded character is more than a puppet to the whims of the plot. She moves her story forward through her actions and motivations. For a character to truly come to life for your readers, first she must come to life for you as the writer. Even a well-rounded character can fall flat if we fail to convey her well.
