how to create a story character: a guide by subhana

Hello! Today I will be showing you how to create a character for your story. I have created a lot for my stories and they are actually very easy to make! Choose your character's gender, name and age. And all this should tie in with the story. If there is a certain age limit for doing certain important things your character must do (eg. time travel, supernatural abilities, etc etc) and if they have an important name that is supposed to drive the plot, then do so. Remember - don't let a character have a very unusual name for their time/place unless it drives the plot and the age limit mustn't be unrealistic (you can't make characters climb mountains and shoot guns when they're like, seven). Give your character a personality. For the sake of this post, I shall choose my character Vivian Wren as an example. The character must have strengths (eg.

Secrets of a Sun King - book review

battle cry - poem

Hi! This is a poem that I randomly thought of at 12 A.M. when I was supposed to be sleeping. So yeah.. --- My friends stand by my side As we run onto the field to fight I carry the banner high Up ahead, I can see the light. I lift my face towards the sky This will not be the day I die This will be the day I take flight This will be the day I set things right. When the wolves turn and hunt me down I will face them bravely and stand my ground This victory is going to be found It is time to turn this all around.
