Readers want to engage with characters who feel like real people, who act out consistent motivations and personalities. Whether you write stories that are primarily character-driven or plot-driven, your characters are important. So how do you get to know your characters? Building a character is different than building a plot because it typically requires more planning up front. Devorah Cutler-Rubenstein, writer, producer, director, and career coach, shares her character development method which began with the question, &ldquo;if you walked into a bar, would you want to get to know your character?&rdquo; The concept evolved into an eight-step book, <em>Dating Your Character,</em> and writing exercises that revolve around your relationship with your character. The process of dating your character can help create more fully developed, interesting, and marketable characters and stories.
