Creating Multi-Dimensional Characters #2---Everybody Lies
Reblogged from Kristen Lamb's Blog:
Monday, we started talking about ways to create multi-dimensional characters. It's tempting for us to create "perfect" protagonists and "pure evil" antagonists, but that's the stuff of cartoons, not great fiction. Every strength has an array of corresponding weaknesses, and when we understand these soft spots, generating conflict becomes easier. Understanding character arc becomes simpler. Plotting will fall into place with far less effort.
Part two of Kristen's excellent series.
