Ten Ways to Get into Characters’ Heads
It’s rare that the movie is ever better than the book. Why is that? Arguably, the written word is better at giving us glimpses into characters’ minds, and it’s that internal world that really gets readers identifying with characters, investing in the conflicts, and understanding the stakes of a story. In this session, we’ll examine how writers can go about conveying that interior world. We’ll identify several practical methods that you can use in your prose writing to strengthen your character portrayals and enliven your conflict.
BIO: T.D. Storm writes short stories and essays. His work has appeared in various journals and anthologies, including Black Warrior Review, Copper Nickel, and Literary Hub. He has been a finalist in a number of contests, including the International Literary Competition at Salem College, which he won in 2013. He has an MFA in Writing from Pacific University.
He lives in Madison, Wisconsin, where he works as a writing coach and editor. You can learn more about his teaching and editing at stormwritingschool.com. Prior to his current work, he taught high school English for 15 years and briefly pursued an Olympic rowing berth.
