Die folgenden Tipps stammen aus dem Buch "Write Away" von Elizabeth George. Hier, was sie zum Thema "Charaktere" zu sagen hat:
The writers who don't discuss character but problems - social problems or any problems - take away from literature its very essence. They stop being entertaining.
...the basic guidelines in creating characters should be: Give them flaws, allow them to doubt themselves about something, see to it that they grow and change, and make certain you are putting them into conflict.
...characters are interesting in their conflict, their misery, their unhappiness, and their confusion. They are not, alas, interesting in their joy and security.
Und weiter:
Character is story.
Dialogue is character.
Bringing a character to life depends upon prior and complete knowledge of that character followed by an understanding of dialogue's functions and the select use of telling details.
