My goal is to complete a prescriptive nonfiction book on how to create believable, memorable characters in fiction, using J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone as an in-depth case study. I'll know I have successfully completed my goal when my book is around 40,000-60,000 words long and has been revised based on feedback from beta readers.
I completed a third draft of my prescriptive nonfiction writing book, which details how to write a believable, engrossing novel by (1) identifying and explaining the most helpful screenwriting techniques for novelists and (2) exemplifying how to implement said techniques through an in-depth case study of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
