Why Do We Do the Things We Do? Character Studies
"Readers turn to fiction to satisfy an ongoing curiosity about why people act they way they do. The best fiction writers reveal the workings of the human heart through believable characters about whom readers care. Once we buy into a cast of characters, we no longer experience a particular story as fiction but as a unique world that is real and true."
