More Info - What is character? Character is who someone has been, who he or she is now, and who he or she will become. Character is every feature and trait that forms an individual’s nature. Character covers a multitude of sins as well as moral and ethical qualities. Character is what one is or isn’t made of. Without character, only an empty shell remains. You can pen the greatest story every told, but without vibrant characters, your manuscript will be as hollow as a sewage pipe. What would the sinking of the Titanic have been without characters? Or the volcano eruption at Pompeii? Even the parting of the Red Sea wouldn’t seem quite so miraculous without characters crossing over to the other side. This 6-lesson course teaches step by step how to pour character descriptions, personalities, emotions, gestures, and dialogue in that empty shell, and form an unforgettable character.
