Today, I’m thrilled to share with you part 3 of our How to Create Charismatic Characters blog series.

In part 1, we discussed the process of assigning physical attributes to characters.

In part 2, we explored the importance of identifying our characters’ objects of desire.

In today’s article, we’re going to look at something I call the character depth spectrum.

All characters exist on a spectrum of depth or complexity. On one end of the spectrum are fully realized, well-round, three dimensional characters. On the other end are flat, stock characters, and character archetypes.

Should all of the characters you create for your novel fall on the well-rounded end of that spectrum?

Your pal in writing,
