Published about 1 month ago • 3 min read

Author's Notes

Do you know anyone who is a contradiction? Someone who has a certain vibe about them, but then does something in complete constradiction?

Great characters contain contradictions.

A brave soldier afraid of disappointing his family.

A ruthless leader who secretly rescues animals.

Contradictions make characters human.

This is something to consider when writing your characters.
