Developing The Skill To Draw Readers Through Your Characters
by Elden Keyton
A writer needs to have an interesting story but how can they do that? Creating an interesting character can be a good way to do it, a character that can surprise the reader is an even better way.
Add a little mystery to keep the pages turning and the reader will keep coming back for more.
The goody goody housewife who is bored with her life may have an affair. The teenage daughter may become pregnant and keep her secret for half of the story until something goes wrong. The guy who works at the car dealer and drives all these different super nice cars turns out to be stealing them off the lot and exchanging them every so often until he gets in an accident and whoa now he's in deep trouble.
The bad guy doesn't have to always be bad, he may have a weak spot for a single mom trying to raise three kids alone. The kidnapper may end up falling in love with the woman he kidnapped and let her go. Drama makes for page turners.
Grandma can be bad sometimes, and grandpa well he's got his secrets too. They don't have to be the picture of virtue just because they are the older characters in the story.
Grandma likes to water ski and bungee jump or maybe she dyes her hair pink. Grandpa goes to the porno shows and gets busted coming out one day. Grandpa may love to roller skate with the grand kids I know I do.
Giving your reader some action and keeping the story moving in an unexpected way will intrigue the reader to keep going to the end. An interesting story line and fascinating characters will create a book that flies off the shelf, and a story that has more to offer the reader makes a seller.
