Careers for Characters

Read Acts 7-9

Acts 9:43 "And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner."

While we are plotting, it’s not always easy to remember our characters need jobs. Most of the action might take place at or around our characters’ homes.

Most readers enjoy a look into our character’s job and work environment. It gives them a chance to taste what it might be like to work at that job.

The careers we choose for our characters are important glimpses into what makes them tick. We can choose a career we are familiar with, one we are curious about and want to research, or one that best fits into our plot and what kinds of characters we need to accomplish the story goal.
