Jeremiah 10:6
"Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and
thy name is great in might."
Characters have roles in
stories. There’s the hero, the villain, the mentor, the shadow, the sidekick,
the love interest, and more.
When writing a first draft
it’s not critical to flesh out the characters more than the roles they play.
Hopefully the act of writing the plot will show us more about what our
characters are like.
However, before we submit
our manuscript to any agents or publishers, we will want to make sure our
characters are unique, interesting, and memorable and that they grow and change
by the end of the book. That’s what will sell our stories to editors, agents,
and especially to readers.
