Character Creation for the Plot-First Novelist
What is a plot-first novelist? Someone who can think
up fantastic plots like nobody's business but to whom
three-dimensional characters come slowly or not at all.
I'm one of those. My early, unpublished fiction was
high on interesting action but featured characters who
were nothing more than cardboard cutouts I moved around
the stage to be there when the truck blew up.
I know I'm not alone, too. As an acquisitions editor
and now as a freelance book doctor I see this all the
time. The story and premise are interesting, but the
characters are flat and impossible to tell apart.
It was for writers like that, writers like me, that I
developed this system. This is my flagship product and
I'm very proud of it.
Character Creation for the Plot-First Novelist
begins with a character center and then adds layers in a
logical fashion, coming at character creation from a
variety of angles
