To be one of the best author’s in the game, you must arm yourself with the tools of the trade. An essential tool is the Direct Characterization Method. It is a fairly straightforward technique, but many struggle to pull it off the way they should. This makes for poor writing. By improving your abilities to use the technique, you can stand out amongst the myriad of mediocre authors.

In this week’s episode we unpack all things Direct Method including a recap of the definition and a look at methods you can use to improve your own character creation. I share some brilliant examples from literature and why they work so well.

Key knowledge you will acquire in this episode:
