Likable Characters

When I develop a character and set them lose in a setting of my creation, I never know if he or she will play nice with others, or become a baboon and show his or her flaming ass to one and all. Usually I develop characters I think I will like, unless of course the goal is to dislike them.

None of my characters are based on a single personality of someone I know. There are a few that may resemble someone in parts, but no more than that. The goal is to create someone unique, believable, and with an essential role in the story.

Very few of my characters are flat or unimportant. Most have major roles if not immediately then eventually. It is the reason the character charts are so helpful to readers. Look for the charts and images from the stories under reader’s resources on my website at JuliaSchmeelk.com.

happy reading! 😀
