on Writers Helping Writers:
Your Characters’ Skills
Memorable characters often have skills or talents that set them apart … but these abilities need to serve a purpose in the story.
So, how do we know whether we are writing a character with a completely random skill, or one that will make them three-dimensional and compelling?
A great topic! I didn’t even realize that the skill and/or job should have something to do with what the character’s doing/pursuing. Guess, I got lucky that worked out, lol.
