Creating relatable and believable characters is a Creating relatable and believable characters is a very important aspect of story/novel writing. One of the first steps is to give your characters both positive and negative traits. If they’re anything close to a breathing human they will have negative traits. It’s not only impossible but also boring if a character is perfect without any flaws.
It is also important to your characters a goal to pursue. And no, this is not only for your main characters but also the supporting characters. If your supporting characters do nothing but be the side-kick to your MC, that would make them boring and uninspiring.
What are your thoughts about creating relatable characters for your story/novel?

Today’s prompt on #octoberwriterswipchallenge is Today’s prompt on #octoberwriterswipchallenge is to choose six words that describe me. There was a time in my life I had to wrack my brain to come up with a couple of words. But, not anymore. Over the years I grew from and healed past the trauma to become who I am today! And now these six words describe me best:
🌟Determined 
🌟Ambitious 
🌟Quirky 
🌟Weird
🌟Funny
🌟Phoenix (I always rise from the ashes!)
What about you? What words do you use to describe yourself?

Thank you @bookmarks69 for an honest and amazing r Thank you @bookmarks69 for an honest and amazing review of Immortal Fears! 

Read her review below:

Posted @withregram • @bookersmarks69 Thank you @artemisthealpha for sending this ebook to me in exchange for an honest review 🥰 Here we go~

Immortal Fear (Anthology)
🌟🌟🌟🌟

All was good for me but I think I mostly liked three 😅 This is a playground for people who loves mythologies 😍
Twenty authors, twenty gods, twenty stories that will chill you as you reach the plot. It’s a fantasy anthology based on the Greek Pantheon. The story is about the different Deities of Greek Mythology. This book is recommended to those who LOVES fantasy AND Greek Mythology. 

My faves (I'm just gonna write the synopsis with less details to prevent spoilers 🤭)

The Deep Wild - CJ Landry 
Hera has been kidnapped and her four terrified teenage Gods and Goddesses, must race against the clock to find their mother and their greatest enemy? Themselves.

Darkness Falls - Jennifer Morton
Something from another dimension is using Samhain to try to slip through the veil. Medusa  must stop the rising darkness before it consumes her and swallows the light forever..but can she? 🤫

Frozen Soul - Ember Savage 
If @persephtiyareads  reads this story, I hope she likes it . 🤭 Persephone must discover what soul is haunting the Underworld and keeps interrupting her sleep. She will have to face many horrors as she crawls to the dark depths of the Underworld.

I feel picking the right name for my MC’s is alw I feel picking the right name for my MC’s is always the hardest tasks during my planning phase. The names you see on the image are of my MC’s from 4 different WIPs. I spent hours mulling over these names (except of course Artemis!) coz they had to be perfect...just like how I see them in my head.
What about you? Do you easily come up with MC names or spend hours like me trying out various combinations?
