Ever felt like your characters just... lack something?
You know what I'm talking about: Those moments you reread a passage and your protagonist feels as flat as the page they're written on.
Imagine that on a larger scale. A whole manuscript filled with characters who don't resonate.
What if there was a way to bring them to life? To infuse them with the depth and complexity that makes readers care, laugh, and cry?
Let's see how.
Understanding Three-Dimensional Characters
Think of your best friend, with their quirky laugh, their fears, and the dreams they've shared in hushed tones. A three-dimensional character is crafted in this same mould, blending strengths and vulnerabilities.
If the mother-in-law in your novel is slowly poisoning her daughter-in-law, let her do it in-between her yoga sessions, long walks and coffee with gossiping neighbours. Don’t make her an evil spewing, cauldron swirling witch. Even your witches should have wear lipstick, go on dates and have fun.
