When we read a story or a novel that we really like, what is it that we remember the most? In my case it's the characters. The same thing applies to movies, and television shows. We remember characters don't we?Some of you remember these characters, but do you remember their sidekicks?  For instance. The Lone Ranger and ______Cisco Kid and ________  Roy Rogers and _______  Lois Lane _____What if I just described their clothing or their animals?Lassie and _______  Tootsie pop and ________ General Lee ______Creating characters that live in your mind forever is an art.  My thinking is that the character traits have to be so memorable that they imprint in your long turn memory we may forget some of the dialogue from a John Wayne movie but we never lose sight of the memory of "the Duke" as a stand up kind of a guy.  A guy we would want to have a beer or share a foxhole with.On the flip side we won't soon forget Hannibal Lector. We surely wouldn't want to have a drink or dinner with Hannibal either.Marg's tips are real and they work. I use them and I have her book in My KFHD for easy reference when I am outlining my stories.I can't say enough good things about Marg's books. They have served me better than an expensive writer's conference. Try one, you'll buy another, buy it and you'll buy them all.Every one is a 5 star bargain.
