A great work succeeds in combining all of them in a great mix, producing a wonderful work. In most cases, youre better at one writing element over the rest, and working on your strengths will work to your advantage. Building characters, however, is important to your writing. Its not to be ignored no matter what your case is. So, how do you achieve that?Make Them Real This is probably one of the most common pieces of writing advice: make your characters believable. What does it really mean? It means that your characters need to be there for a reason, not just for pushing the story forward. He/She has a real life, with his/her own fears and dreams, and you have to show this. Your characters dont need to be typical to be believable. The unusual ones are even more interesting, but its your job to make your readers relate to them.Understand Human Psychology To build great characters, youll need to understand peoples psychology: what are they thinking about, what are they feeling and experiencing, and why are they doing what they are doing? Get behind the obvious. Be in the backstage with them. Sit them in a chair and let them talk away. If you truly listen, you will learn.Be your character When you immerse (使沉浸) yourself in your writing, you get lost in that world and you start living in it. This is when the magic happens and you become your character. By putting yourself in your characters shoes, you allow yourself to experience what youre writing about first-hand. The more it feels real to you, the more the readers will feel the same, too.(1)According to the author, what makes a great work?A.Being skilled at description.B.Having some unusual characters.
