The Fiction writing and brainstorming of a new character

T‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍here are two pages to this order. The first page is to answer questions about the readings I have attached. The second is to brainstorm for a new character you will be creating for a writing assignment. Below are the questions that need answering for both pages. Thank you.

Here is the description for this order: We all come to fiction compelled by different elements of storytelling. I love the creation of worlds, the way that you can dig at emotional truths that feel even more real than a “true” story. I’m sure that you’ve all heard fiction described as a lie that is true–a slightly convoluted way of saying that stories that aren’t verbatim true can still feel so real and important, a way of describing our shared humanity, of reflecting the world we live in and revealing its truths.

The Fiction writing and brainstorming of a new character

More than anything, I love creating people–characters who feel real and lovable and flawed. The very first thing you need to do to write a piece of fiction that will move your reader is to give them someone to care about. When you create a strong character, and really consider what they want. (and what they really, really, really want–all of those layers of wanting that drive our actions). Then you use that knowledge to help drive your story, to consider how a character might act in any situation. It can be easy to think about characters in terms of what they look like, what they do, what actions they take:

He’s young, lanky and awkward, works at a convenience store, and steals money from the cash register. That’s not a bad start. However, the more fully you understand your characters, the stronger your story will be:

He’s young, awkward, and has spent his whole life thinking about how he will go away to school. Also, break free of his family and the small Oregon town he’s grown up in. He can imagine his life elsewhere, how he’ll start over. He imagines introducing himself as someone else–imagines slipping on someone else’s life as soon as he’s far enough away that no one will notice his deception
