For example: <P>· What would motivate your character to tell a lie&#151;a big lie that may have unintended consequences? · Is your character the type who would blow the whistle on a corporate cover-up or would she quietly toe the line? · How would your character cope with the loss of a parent with whom he was exceptionally close? · How likely would your character be to flirt with an attractive stranger in a hotel bar? · Is your character the type who would drop everything&#151;and everyone&#151;for a spontaneous road trip? <P>Plus, find out how to develop each scenario further using corresponding prompts and specific psychological insight into areas such as the role friendship plays in a person's mental and physical health, conflict resolution in intimate relationships, and the connection between time-impatience and free-floating hostility. <P>With What Would Your Character Do?, you don't have to guess at your character's responses to the important decisions and unexpected challenges he's sure to encounter in your story. Use and reuse these scenarios on each of your characters until you've got a nuanced, distinct cast that readers will never be able to forget! 639868 1 6 2006 What Would Your Character Do? total:20|5:4|4:6|3:8|2:1|1:1| 20 71 47 3 3 0 false false Sun Aug 24 18:05:00 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 24 18:07:51 -0700 2008
