Developing Characters

Several weeks ago I attended an hour seminar on characterization presented by Robin Miller. Robin writes as Robin Caroll and you can find details about her on the web at: robincaroll.com

She is the president of ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) and just signed a three-book contract. As you might guess by the office she holds, we are a world apart on background and writing genre.

Robin uses a different approach than I do when it comes to fleshing out characters, but her method is outstanding. I learned long ago, that there is little difference in genre when it comes to creating characters. No writer will last long with flat, two dimensional people in the prose. Take advantage of every opportunity to learn and pick the brains of the best.
