Mad Characterization Skills  Dear Reader/Writers, What does an editor mean when she says she appreciates complex characters? That she'll see you've given your characters positive & negative traits? That your characters don't all have super-model good looks, a perfect home and faithful friends? Sure, but most of what makes a character complex is invisible. Quick How-To: Title: Genre: Answer these three question -- 1. I probably came up with this idea because… 2. One secret my main character will never tell anyone... 3. Here's how my antagonist's best friend describes him/her... Keep those 3 answers inside your brain. Refuse to make your hero's shame/regret/failure part of the story,, and you'll write in a way that lets your readers will feel he is humble and human beneath his accomplishments. If you know a pal admires your villain's inability to resist old dogs and daisies, the knowledge infuses the words coming from your fingertips and your bad guy won't be a stereotype. Have fun!
