In Creating Compelling Characters you'll explore your characters from the inside so you can: understand their hopes, fears, and motivations learn what drives them to do what they do create living, breathing characters rather than cardboard cutouts Using questions and prompts designed to help you peer into your characters' hearts and minds and examples from popular books and classics such as Gone Girl, The Dead Zone, and Pride and Prejudice, bestselling novelist Lisa M.
