The
Thought Process I Use When Creating A Character~
Continued…
So
Jordan is now once again in her home-town… ready to confront her past. When developing this part of the story, I did
a lot of research first. Though my novels are fiction, how characters react to his
or her life-changing events, I believe is very important. A victim can deal with what has happened to
them in many different ways. Some keep their experience hidden from others,
some completely shut down and some block out the entire incident. Wanting
Jordan to be portrayed as a strong character—yet the trauma she suffered
leaving her scarred, her return home needed to be told in just the right way.
I
began with Jordan reconnecting with her dearest friends. This gave my readers
an insight to her past. In telling her story in such a way, this allowed me to develop
my minor characters. Using conversational dialogue between characters so much
can be expressed. For me, I prefer this form of writing to inform my readers of
important details and unveil character personalities. Here you can create
chapters that have your readers laughing and also bring a tear to their eye. And
if done just right that reader becomes lost within the story.
As
an avid reader, I believe a novel should never flow as if it were a text-book. But
that’s just me…
