Understanding Character Development

While there are a number of writing books that can teach a writer about character development, the truth is that character development is a much more natural process. In reading many books, a writer can begin to see how characters emerge in their favorite books and make mental notes as to how to bring their own characters to life.


Book lovers will begin to see how certain authors bring their characters from one point to the next and how characters develop in natural ways - and how some emerge in unique and unexpected ways. But these are lessons which are primarily taught through experience. Only in seeing many characters unfold during books can one truly understand how to do the same in one's own writing.

And since many writers forget that writing is a business, just like any other business, they tend to shy away from reading other books for fear they will be too similar to someone else's bestseller. While the idea behind this aversion makes sense, book lovers know that there are certain trends in fiction and non-fiction that publishers follow. Viewermax offers a range of interesting books for readers who like different styles of writing.

Writers have an obligation to be book lovers as a part of their craft. Not only will they be able to garner inspiration, but they will also be able to learn about writing style, structure, and voice.

Hands on training for writing begin with reading - and reading a lot. Subscribing to Viewermax will allow you access to a virtual library of music that you can listen to whenever you want.
