My CFT post this week, Writing Legacy, looks at the legacy of the much missed Barbara Large, MBE, who founded the Winchester Writers' Festival. I also ask what legacy we as writers should try to leave behind.
From a character viewpoint, what is the legacy we as our creators should leave them with?
Better get to it then!

From a character viewpoint, what is the legacy we as our creators should leave them with?
- Have we made them unforgettable characters? We should have done...
- Have we given them plenty to do in the story? We should have done...
- Have we tested them to see what they are really made of? We should have done...
- Have they got good dialogue? If not, why not?
- Do they come across well to a reader? They should do (and this applies equally to villains. They need to be convincing too).
- Are the motivations of the character strong enough?
- Will the reader feel a pang of regret when the story is over?
Better get to it then!
