Character motivation
What makes a character tick? Why do characters act a certain way? These are both questions that can be answered by a well developed character. Let's go back to Tim and Amber, the characters I've created for some of my writing exercises. What makes Amber tick? Well, she obviously was impacted very hard by the death of her mother Janet. As a result of this, she appears to be a little bit mad at the world.
Tim, well we don't know a whole lot about him yet except that he's easy going, sarcastic, and has a book addiction.
Charlaine Harris does such a great job of developing characters and providing motivation for them. I can only aspire to be half as good as her character motivation/development.
