One way is to pick someone you know who somewhat resembles that character and use that person as a starting point. You won’t stay with the real person long because the character in your story will soon take over and become his own self. But using someone who is real— with real qualities both good and bad— will get you headed towards a character that is also real and has humanity written all over him.
I’m Florence Witkop and I’m an author and have been one for many years because I love stories and the characters that people them. If you, too, enjoy reading about the sometimes amazing situations people find themselves in — and how they get through those situations and not only survive, but thrive — then check out my books.
My favorite genres are science fiction and paranormal so my books often combine the two. My stories are always clean and almost always contain at least a touch of romance.
And all my books end happily. Always. You can come after me if that’s wrong, but it’ll never happen.
Check out the covers below to see some of my stories. All are available on Amazon. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
