“As a writer, you want your reader to feel that your characters are substantial, authentic, dimensional. Real enough to cast shadows.”

Back from my writing group. This months topic was Creating Compelling Characters. It helped a lot with some things I‘ve been struggling with. Our fearless leader gave us all little notebooks to carry around to help with inspiration. #nanowrimo
