Today in Step 5 you're going to Create Your Main Character!

Perhaps you've been thinking of it. Maybe you've already done so, but if not, Here's the Moment.
Your main character is the personification that will carry your core reasons for writing the book, and will also take the lead on ensuring that your branding is a clear thread throughout the story.

To help you bring your character closer and closer into view, you might ask questions such as: What might he/she wear. What might he/she say if blank happened. What might he/she eat. Where might he/she live or work... etc.

See your character through the entire plot or story that you've been considering. Where other characters you develop to support your main character or to support your plot may not have a finality; the main character will. Therefore you should know before you start writing where you're taking this character.

Once you've accomplished this then think about developing other characters as needed. Since it's your first book, try to keep the number of significant characters to two or three. When this is complete, you might make your next post an introduction to your key characters. You might choose a few lines for each or you might decide to do profiles and just list key identifiers.

Take a few weeks to do this. Sleep on your ideas. Do not rush.
Then return here on March 13th for the last step before we break.

The question of this piece is The Thinner Soul. Is it within you? Is it the soul without you? .. or Is it all around you? Sometimes it's not about strait lines or circles, but rather, about the depths and the heights of our existence and how the ebbs and flow of those extremes impact the soul forever. This book follows the main character onto a journey of many loves. Yet, with and even without each of these loves, her soul grows thinner by the sheer tug of war. This story is a great exploration of things worth fighting for, and things worth relinquishing. It's no doubt Radiance is the central focus, and all the book's subplots remain superficial to the true scheme of things. She remains resilient, and somewhat elusive until at last. I might also add, in thi...

A Better Pair of Shoes "The Thinner Soul", a novel- Chp. 37

(Click the Image for a Clear View.) #ABPOS The Thinner Soul, Chp. 37 Jeff - I'd never guessed when I first started wondering about my heritage that it would lead to two parts Dunbar. When we'd gotten back to L.A. Ketly and I had taken everything we knew to a local historical society archives library. We'd waited nearly a week to sit with someone, and it was everything in one sitting. It was an oral record logged there by my grandmother Dorsey herself. She'd made it just weeks after my father was killed. It included her knowledge of her father's meaning by naming her Dorsey Dunbar and paper records of her marriage to Timothy Earl Dunbar, a railworker. There was even news clippings about my father's death and my grandmother Dorsey's endorsement of his full-breed status. It was a sort of oxymoron. A Black full-breed Dunbar. It made me wonder if my grandmother Dorsey had been in love with Timothy Earl Dunbar, or whether it had bee...
