“We fiction writers have a responsibility when creating a character; he or she must sit beside us as we read the story. If she isn’t, we haven’t done our job. Therefore, writing Dr. T’s character forced a plunge into places I had no interest in going. A person like Adam Turner would not have come into this beautiful world looking for a kid to control, manipulate, or wreck. There had to be a reason- that created massive psychic wounds.” StorytellingWriting ProcessWriting LifeFiction WritingCharacter DevelopmentWriting CraftWriting CommunityAuthor LifeCharacter ArcAuthor Thoughts Author:Dawn Chalker
