This is a great video! It already gave me some ideas for characterization in a book I’m writing. Patti Lacy’s book, “What the Bayou Saw”, comes to mind, in regard to telling the story from various characters. She changes character in each scene, resulting in a multifaceted story.
I’ve used the Telling the Story Backwards technique, and it works beautifully. It’s such fun to develop a character from that perspective.
CBI Clubhouse is my favorite site and I’m spreading the word.
