Characters from the Inside Out with Gary Schmidt

This afternoon, we’ll work at creating characters for a short story or novel by focusing on how movement, action, and physical appearance can announce to our readers who our characters are and what our characters are all about deep down.  To do this, we’ll begin with what our characters look like, and move toward what our characters truly want and need--what it is that drives them forward in our stories.  Prepare to imagine, to take some literary chances, and to handle some very old artifacts
