About This Quote

Believe in your character. Animate (or write) with sincerity. "Believe in your character" is a common refrain of writers, who are often asked for advice on how to best convey their characters’ inner lives. Characters are not just individuals to be observed, but are the agents of the author's own story.  The structure of writing can be directly experienced through the letters that characters write.

That is why authors often ask not only how the characters feel, but also what they think. When they do this, it is important to have the characters speak their own thoughts out loud, rather than following a prescribed or formulaic plot.  When writing with sincerity, it is important to always approach your story as if you were telling it to a friend for the first time.

Every sentence and every word should be filled with honesty and authenticity so that the reader can experience the story as close to reality as possible.
