I'm giving a writing workshop this fall and am working on it sporadically. So y'all are likely to see other topics from me between then and now. Viz.
Strong, interesting characters are key to all good stories. There are a ton of reference materials out there for that. Some are even good ones.
But I realized I can't think of a one that is about how to write a strong, interesting, fantasy character. I'm giving it some thought myself, but naturally my very first thought was to ask the Assembled Wisdom of the Scribes.
All comments welcome!
For this exercise, though, let's take off the table all character advice that is universal. We'll assume character with flaws, with goals, etc. Thoughts on secondary or tertiary fantasy characters are also welcome.
