Character Psychology: The Complete Character Craft Guide to Minds That Drive Stories: 1 - Couverture souple
Livre 1 sur 2: Character Craft Masterclass
Synopsis
Most fantasy characters fail for one reason: they have a personality instead of a mind.
Personality is what a character does. Mind is why they can't stop doing it. Readers don't remember traits — they remember the want that won't go away, the fear that won't stay buried, the performance a character can't quite drop even when it's costing them everything.
Character Psychology gives you a complete, practical system for building minds readers can't forget — introducing The Character Engine, a three-part framework used throughout this book to design protagonists, villains, and ensemble casts with real psychological depth:
DESIRE — what a character wants, and the deeper need hiding underneath it
WOUND — the formative pain that shaped how they see themselves and the world
MASK — what they show the world to survive, hide, or get what they want
Inside, you'll learn:
• How to build the gap between what a character wants and what they actually need — and why that gap is where story lives
• How to write a Wound that readers feel in behavior, long before it's ever explained
• How to design a Mask that can convincingly crack at exactly the right moment
• How to build contradiction, self-deception, and moral complexity that read as depth, not inconsistency
• How to keep a character psychologically consistent even through dramatic, surprising choices
• How to make a character's psychology generate plot problems, not just react to them
• How to adapt the Character Engine across heroes, villains, mentors, and ensemble casts
Packed with deep case study breakdowns of well-known fantasy characters, worked before-and-after examples, eleven comprehensive worksheets, and two visual diagnostic tools — including the Character Engine Canvas — this is a complete, hands-on system, not just theory.
Whether you're drafting your first fantasy novel or revising a cast that feels flat, Character Psychology will show you exactly how to build people readers can't stop thinking about.
Character Psychology is Book 1 of the Character Craft Masterclass series — a sister series to the Fantasy Worldbuilding Masterclass, from the same author.
