Hi fellow writers, I know some of you are fantastic at writing strong characters that feel like real people with interesting backstories. Sadly for me, this is one of my main weaknesses as a writer. But I want to get better! Do you have any resources to share that you've found helpful to become better at writing characters? Books, courses, YouTube videos, whatever? If so I'd love to know.
Thanks!
