Characters: A Focus

The weekend saw me finally begin my novella, and as such I spent a lot of time thinking about characters. I think it would be nice, for the next couple of weeks, to give a focus on this all-important aspect of fiction writing and roleplaying.

My approach is going to be one primarily aimed at the literary viewpoint, though it will also certainly be pertinent to roleplaying. A variety of aspects will be covered, and hopefully this series of posts will do two things: 1. Give an insight about how I view characters and their importance, and 2. serve as a reference guide for all of you.

Your Input, If You Will

While I have the main series planned, I’d also like to offer you the chance of dicating once again what is put on the blog: After all, you guys are the ones who have to read the posts! So, what would you like to see discussed during this series? Anything you want to learn? A particular opinion of mine you’d like to see voiced? Or maybe you’d like to make a guest post? Let me know!
