Writers are always given the advice "show, don't tell." But HOW should we show emotions? This book has the answer.

How can writers choose the right blend of strengths for their characters--attributes that make them admirable and worth rooting for--without making it too easy for them to succeed?

Finding the perfect mix of strengths and weaknesses for our characters can be difficult. So how can writers figure out which flaws best fit their characters?

Readers connect to characters with depth, ones who have experienced life’s ups and downs. Of all the formative experiences in a character’s past, none are more destructive than emotional wounds.
