{"product_id":"dwight-swain-v-creating-characters-9780806139180","title":"Creating Characters","description":"A jargon-free manual on the basics of developing interesting fictional characters Vibrant, believable characters help drive a fictional story. Along with a clever plot, well-drawn characters make us want to continue reading a novel or finish watching a movie. In Creating Characters, Dwight V. Swain shows how writers can invent interesting characters and improve them so that they move a story along. \"The core of character,\" he says in chapter 1, \"lies in each individual story person’s ability to care about something; to feel implicitly or explicitly, that something is important.\" Building on that foundation—the capacity to care—Swain takes the would-be writer step-by-step through the fundamentals of finding and developing \"characters who turn you on.\" This basic but thought-provoking how-to is a valuable tool for both the novice and the seasoned writer.","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53422211924310,"sku":"9780806139180-V","price":11.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/dwight-swain-v-creating-characters-9780806139180","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
