Characters to Go

Characters to Go  (2007/2017) Post 364

Characters to Go, (originally published as Characters and Characterisation) is a how-to on producing (you guessed it), characters for use in fiction. The updated text of this one forms part of 
Everything You Want to Know About Writing and More, Much More: the Whole Kit and Kaboodle

However, it is also available as a single volume. Creating characters is one of my favourite parts of writing, and over the years I've created so many of them I've lost count. There's a partial list at http://sallyodgers.50megs.com/people.htm if you're interested, but if you plan to read all the names and relationships it will take a while. A shorter list of some characters from 2016/17 is available here.  I seem to have a bit of an obsession with characters, so needless to say, I enjoyed writing Characters to Go.
ABOUT THE BLOG

Sally is Sally Odgers; author, manuscript assessor, editor, anthologist and reader. She runs http://www.affordablemanuscriptassessments.com and Prints Charming Books. (Sally is me, by the way, and I am lots of other things too, but these are the relevant ones for now.)

The goal for 2017 is to write a post a day profiling the background behind one of my books; how it came to be written, what it's about, and any things of note that happened along the way. If you're an author, an aspiring author, a reader or just someone who enjoys windows into worlds, you might find this fun. The books are not in any special order, but will be assigned approximate dates, and pictures, where they exist.
