<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Vivid and memorable characters aren't <i>born</i> they have to be <i>made</i></b> <p/>This book is a set of tools: literary crowbars, chisels, mallets, pliers and tongs. Use them to pry, chip, yank and sift good characters out of the place where they live in your imagination. <p/>Award-winning author <b>Orson Scott Card</b> explains in depth the techniques of inventing, developing and presenting characters, plus handling viewpoint in novels and short stories. With specific examples, he spells out your narrative options--the choices you'll make in creating fictional people so real that readers will feel they know them like members of their own families. <p/>You'll learn how to: <p/> - Draw characters from a variety of sources<br> - Make characters show who they are by the things they do and say, and by their individual style<br> - Develop characters readers will love--or love to hate<br> - Distinguish among major characters, minor characters and walk-ons, and develop each appropriately<br> - Choose the most effective viewpoint to reveal the characters and move the storytelling<br> - Decide how deeply you should explore your characters' thoughts, emotions, and attitudes
