Business 130: Basics to Create Dynamic Characters
- Average Time Commitment per
Week: 2-3 hours
- Time to Complete Course: 4
Weeks
- Difficulty (1-5): 2
- Course Description: How can you ensure your reader will care
about your characters? Are your characters three dimensional or are they
flat and lifeless? Will your main character be the next Huck Finn or
Sherlock Holmes, or will they be easily forgotten and discarded? Do you want
your main characters to be memorable?
This course will show you step by step how to create memorable characters
which will captivate your reader. They will be memorable because they are so
great…or so bad.
Riveting main characters need to be multi-faceted. They need a history, a
present, a future and the depth you expect in your family and friends. Your
initial understanding of the characters will change and grow. This will
happen as your characters grow and develop through the exercises.
Come along as our characters become more real to ourselves and our readers.
Make your character someone an editor will want to get to know and to share
with others.
This is the first in a series of courses to help each of us develop more
dynamic characters. Take one or take all three, the choice is yours.
Please note: This course can be taken using only
