Consider this you being put on notice: January is Character Month. Topics include but are not committed to:\nCharacters who need to die\nCharacters’ deepest fears\nCharacter quirks that aren’t cliche\nCharacter talents and skills\nToday we’re going to work on the four general character types (link): The Protagonist, the Antagonist, the confidante, and the love interest.\n"}
