Even "crazy" characters have to have at least one reason for being like that, a reason your readers can follow. So you have to know what drives your characters and that knowledge will affect how you write them but you will write much more convincingly. If the reader is convinced you know what you are doing, then they will stay with you, your story and your characters.
Even in a magical setting, most of the time wishing isn't enough for your characters. They have to have strong motives for being the way they are/acting as they are. The important thing is those motives have to be strong enough in the characters' own eyes. A character can justify all manner of things, but as long as the reader can see why the character is thinking the way they are, that is enough.

AuthorI'm Allison Symes and I write novels, short stories as well as some scripts and poems. I love setting my work in my magical world, the Fairy Kingdom, and my favourite character is Eileen, who believes hypocrisy is something that happens to other people without caring that statement is hypocritical in itself! Eileen is huge fun to write for and about. Archives
