Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask if there was any techniques that you use to outline your characters. I'm starting the first chapter in an idea I have that involves fantasy and was hoping to find good ways to outline fantasy characters. any advice or useful links would be great.
Thanks :)
Myself, I'm a firm believer that all that "The characters in this story are the work of the writer's imagination. Any similarity to real persons is entirely coincidental." is a load of bunk. How do we "invent" [BELIEVABLE] characters without drawing from real life??? The craft is to take a little piece here, a little piece there (...), and sew them together in such a seamless way that people believe the finished product... and yet nobody can sue you for libel.
But then, maybe I've just got a hell of a lot less imagination than everybody else in this game.
