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.

A Better Pair of Shoes, a novel Chapter 1 Introduction ( narrated by Kayla) Just as we are living souls; life itself has a soul. And there’s a heartbeat to life. I call it the rising and the falling. Just as we must rise, I’ve learned that we must fall. I find that I’m grateful for the things I learn when I fall, yet I often dislike the cuts they bring and the scars they leave behind. Today I fell, but perhaps for months I’ve been falling, and I have all the bumps and bruises to prove it. Although they’re not visible to the eye, they are surely recorded on my soul. It’s funny how often my spirit tried to warn me, with a bit of melancholy here and uncertainty there, but at the time, I hadn’t considered that life was forcefully trying to get me to step into a better pair of shoes. I guess I thought I had more time. Interesting, the rising never appears to be as long lived as the falling, and the discomf
