“Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps 20 players. … I have 10 or so, and that’s a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them.”--Gore Vidal #amwriting

Sometimes we want to create a character who is all good or bad. Complex characters will have both a good and bad side, even if one side doesn't show as often. Don't be afraid to give your good guy some flaws. -Joy @joydfanning #amwriting Keep Writing
