Along with a clever plot, well-drawn characters make us want to continue reading a novel or finish watching a movie. In \u003cem\u003eCreating Characters\u003c\/em\u003e, Dwight V. Swain shows how writers can invent interesting characters and improve them so that they move a story along.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The core of character,” he says in chapter 1, “lies in each individual story person’s ability to care about something; to feel implicitly or explicitly, that something is important.” Building on that foundation—the capacity to care—Swain takes the would-be writer step-by-step through the fundamentals of finding and developing “characters who turn you on.” This basic but thought-provoking how-to is a valuable tool for both the novice and the seasoned writer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52651415437679,"sku":"9780806139180","price":125.48,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0806139188.jpg?v=1770673571","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/creating-characters","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
