CHARACTERS THAT LEAP OFF THE PAGE! Have you ever asked yourself why so many novels and screenplays fail to become hits? The answer is they lack realistic characters—ones people can not only believe in, but fall in love with. You can have the most amazing plot, but if nobody cares about your characters, nobody will care about your plot. We pick up a book or buy a ticket to go on a journey with characters we like (or wo are at least interesting). They can't be perfect, they can't be boring. They have to be flawed. In other words, no matter what skills or powers they have, your characters must be realistic. When readers don't believe in your characters, they don't believe in your story. How to Write Realistic Characters shares the TOP SECRETS you need to know and what to do with them! This is a SHORT QUICK-START GUIDE FOR BUSY WRITERS that teaches the fast, easy way to master writing incredibly realistic characters in record time. Who is Jackson Dean Chase?
