Creating Characters

The meat of any good book is not just the plot; but also the characters. For an author to come up with believable characters and characters that either people will love or hate takes a lot of work. The author must think of their personalities, physical appearance, and look at them as if they are real people. I find if I can’t relate to them or picture them in my head; then they usually will have a small part in my book. I want readers to get emotionally involved in my books and to look at the characters as people they know. The following is a link for an article I recently wrote on CHARACTER CREATION.
