A deep dive into point of view through the lens of mastering characterisation, this book shows you how to create vibrant characters and an intimate reading experience, using a wide range of techniques and examples. The key to excellent fiction lies in its characters: the unforgettable protagonists, antagonists, and secondary characters who populate the world of your story. Understanding and effectively using point of view allows you to write a powerful narrative that draws readers in and engages them with characters in a meaningful way. Through a blend of practical instruction, useful examples, and helpful exercises, Writing the Intimate Character shows you how to create the experience of living through a character rather than just reading about one. Inside, you'll learn: ? The functions and benefits of first-person, third-person intimate, omniscient, and second-person points of view. ? How to apply character cues--specific behaviors, sensory perceptions, dialogue, and visual imagery--to develop a realistic protagonist and secondary cast. ? The surface and subset feelings that get to the root of your character's emotions. How different viewpoints affect the story you want to tell. 'Writing the Intimate Character' helps you craft a novel in which readers can experience your characters' senses, dive inside their minds, and truly feel their emotions. AUTHOR: Jordan Rosenfeld is author of 'A Writer's Guide to Persistence', 'Make a Scene: Crafting a Powerful Story One Scene at a Time', and the forthcoming 'Writing Deep Scenes' (with Martha Alderson), all Writer's Digest books, as well as 'Write Free: Attracting the Creative Life' (BeijaFlor Press, with Rebecca Lawton) and the novels 'Women in Red' (Booktrope), 'Forged in Grace' and 'Night Oracle'.
