Writing Tips: Living Your Character

Ever have trouble thinking in the way that your character thinks? Well here are some weird tips that might sound crazy, but it works. In a quick sentence, here it is.

Pretend that you ARE the character, or have an imaginary best friend for the day.




I know it sounds silly but it works. Now, don't make decisions based on your character's personality unless you can do it without endangering yourself or getting into trouble. But think in the way that your character thinks, even if it's hard to imagine. After a while, your character's personality should solidify.


It's the same for your imaginary character friend. You can just imagine how conversations with one character and another would go before your sleep. Just whenever you have time.


These tips are more suitable for people with more time, but anyone can try!


Good luck and happy writing!
