Once a week, I share generalized writing tips from my beta reading experiences with the aim of helping you better yourself as a writer.When your characters are feeling "mechanical", it makes it tough for a reader to connect to them emotionally.____________________________________________________
Take a second look at your characters and think - what are their motivations? What are their dreams/ambitions? What do they care about most? Personality traits and stereotypes can play a part in characterization too, but those are only secondary - what an audience really relates to, is what matters most to that character.
