One of a Kind

Read 2 Kings 22-25

2 Kings 23:25 "And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him."

Our characters need to be unique in order to be memorable. Stereotypes simply will not do.

In fiction, our characters may be ordinary, but we must give them something that makes them stand out. The reader will wonder why she is bothering to read about someone if they are boring or pointless.

Even more important will be the people we choose when we are writing nonfiction articles. They need to be one of a kind characters, too.
