Writer Unleashed #145: Four Levels To Deeper Character Development
In this episode, you're going to go beneath the surface of your characters. We'll go 4 levels deep, starting on the surface, and moving a level deeper until we get to your character's truest self. The self he's trying so hard to hide, suppress, and protect.
This will bring multi-dimension, complexity, and believability to your characters. Even if your reader doesn't relate to your character's external situation, or their particular plot problems, they will connect in every way to their human dilemma.
This is especially valuable for your protagonist. But it's equally valuable for your antagonist, and other main characters.
These are emotional layers your characters are constantly negotiating as they move through your plot.
And you, as author, need to know your characters more than they know themselves.
