Sometimes, they&rsquo;ll just start talking inside her head, and that&rsquo;s how she discovers more about them. To make these characters believable, Hill says, they have to do things: take risks, get into trouble, fail, and try again. Just like real people, the characters should have limits to what they can do and have priorities pulling them in multiple directions at once. If the characters have real struggles and believe in the world they are in, the reader will believe and relate to the characters.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-67/TurningVoicesinYourHeadintoCharactersthatEngageReaders.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../TurningVoicesinYourHeadintoCharactersthatEngageReaders.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Subscriber, video</div>
