Creating characters might be the most important part of the writing process. There are so many different tools, methodologies, craft books that talk about how to do this - and most of us use a mishmash of many different processes. So today I am walking you through the full building process for one of my characters in my next book: from idea, to ready to write!

I'm Nicole Wilbur and I'm a writer and "story nerd", which basically means I love analyzing books, movies, and shows to understand how and why they work. I make videos about becoming a better writer, editing my books, and writing resources. And -- as I start on the journey towards traditionally publishing one of my books -- I'm sharing every step of the process. If this sounds good to you, hit the subscribe button! :)
