Character Elements

Knowing our animal totems and their respective shadow helps us gain deeper insights into our characters.

We are more than we can fathom.

Questions you need to answer for each of your characters to give them life and let them stand out.

We are fueled by our desires or fears, and our success is reliant on our intentions.

The level of consciousness we operate from determines much of our reactions and how we interpret the world and our relationships.

Emotional literacy is the way to understand ourselves and others. Write authentic characters, not caricatures.
