Writing Tip

I found a writing tip that says "develop a main character you can readily identify with." This is interesting because the main characters in Crush and Red Bow I can really identify with. I'd even go so far as to say that there are elements of me in those characters. I've touched on this before, but different characters have different traits from people I know. It's like a big melting pot. So chances are, if I know you, you or a characteristic will be in one of my stories. :)

I've been playing around with secondary/supporting characters. One of the characters, Marcos, from Red Bow becomes more prominent in Untitled. He even has a love interest. Thinking back on different books that I've read, the supporting character can make or break a story. He/she can provide insight, comic relief, or support to the main characters. These secondary characters are just as important, if not as important as the leads in my opinion. Think about a story that you've ready and enjoyed. Now think about whether or not there was a supporting character in that story. I'm willing to be there was and that character had a large impact on the overall story.
