Want to know a little secret for developing characters quickly? Archetypes!
To be clear, archetypes are not clichés. They are distinct sets of traits that make them easily recognizable to the reader without spending pages or chapters developing each individual trait.
Then you take the character and make them uniquely yours!

When we talk about writing characters, you'll often hear people mention goals and motivation. These two parts of character development are so important, but what they are and how you write them can be tricky.
That's why Hank breaks down these two tricky topics in a way that makes sense!

For some pantsers, "outline" is a dirty word. But doing a little bit of planning ahead of time can be a gamechanger, even if you don't want to be a full-on plotter.
Here's a way you can get a sense for your book in a meaningful way, using three simple words to keep you thinking without spending hours or days plotting your novel.

What do you need to write great characters?
The characters in our stories are more than people who do things. They had lives before the story started. They have goals and people who are important to them. They've had conflicts, trauma, and might even have a mortal enemy.
We cover all that and more in this week's lesson from the 60-Day Novel Challenge, but we promise it's worth knowing these things about your characters no matter what you're writing!

Hi everyone! Sorry for the confusion, but there won't be writing sprints today as it's a holiday in the US. That doesn't mean you shouldn't write if you can! We'll see everyone next week.
