Improve Your Stories - Find Your Character

Brent Foster directed "The Digital Journalist" our way today.

A couple of articles caught my eye. Both have to do with writing better stories. The first is a story written by Ken Kobré & Jerry Lazar. If you want to know how to write better stories their 10 Tips story is worth your time.

Midway in Ken and Jerry's article is a link to Kathy Krauss' article on developing the main character, or protagonist in your story. This was my find of the day. She has links to a couple of amazing stories which have a central character that not only holds the story but moves you as you get to know each character.

So if you have the time watch:
