Writing Fictional Characters Beginners: Creating Characters For Fiction

It is generally accepted that a novel can be split into various parts or elements, which helps to establish the different ways that we write prose in a work of fiction. These element are often referred to as the Plot, Setting, Narrative, Description, Backstory, Point of View (POV) and Writing Fictional Characters.

Even though it's the combination of all these elements, and more, that creates a great book, by far the most important ingredient is to create characters for novels.

I have liked this course, but some of the content was a little dry and the audio was hard to understand at times. Otherwise, it has really helped me develop some good character and learn a lot.

As an aspiring fiction author, the characters were what I was having the most trouble with getting right. Thanks to this amazing course, I was able to round out and complete my characters much easier and with a lot more attention to detail. Thank you so much for making this course. I definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to become a writer.
