Developing A Believable Character
Developing a believable character is one of the most important aspects of writing a good story. If the reader cannot believe or empathize with the character, then the story will not be as enjoyable.
In order to develop a believable character, it is important to be aware of the individual’s motivations and how they got that way. The protagonist must be someone the reader can understand and root for, even if they don’t always agree with their actions.
