How To Make A Character

Sometimes, the greatest part of a book is the people. In many great novels, the characters are probably the most important part of a story. If one of them dies, that has a HUGE impact on the story, making it more powerful and deep. But it is very hard to make a good character. SAM TO THE RESCUE!
First, ask yourself these questions to make your character.

•  Are you an optimist or a pessimist?
• How old are you really? Forget your biological age. Are you a playful 7 year old? 
• What is your biggest fear?
• What is your smallest fear?
• What is something you know most about? (Computers? Animals? Fishing? Sports? Mermaids?)
• What are things you would like to do before he dies?
• Things you would want for Christmas that don't cost money?
• Things you thinks the world could do without?
• What is your favorite color? Why?
  
  Answer them, and there's your character! It can be based on you, a friend, a family member or someone you don't even know! After you're done, make a drawing of him/her, use your imagination! Good luck on writing your masterpiece. Hope I helped!
