While learning how to write three dimensional characters can seem daunting, it is completely doable, and these activities can help get you there.
Writing memorable characters means moving beyond the generic stereotypes and adding in the details that make them interesting and relatable. Writing a character profile is a great starting point in this process, as it encourages you to reflect on the different aspects of a characters appearance and personality.
