Bring Your Characters to Life

By learning more about character traits through observation, you can develop richer characters in your writing that are more true-to-life, or even larger than life. Having well-developed characters in your writing will help the reader identify and/or sympathize with the character. Well-defined character traits will help make your characters seem more three dimensional.

Before you can define who you are, you have to first understand your personality. Ask yourself questions, such as «what do I love to do?», "how would my perfect day look?", "what brought me joy as a child?" or "what scares me?". When you can answer those question, you can use the information to discover what your personality is.
