The after :

This afternoon, I read aloud to a young man an article from the feminist revolutions review La Déferlante. The article tells the exile and oppression experienced by Bushra Alzoubi and how she returned to Syria to visit her sister, from whom she had lost contact. This article, along with photos, can be found in issue 21, page 26, from February.

Copyright Quentin for the photo, thank you for participating and listening to the text.

Creation of characters : the behavior

When creating characters, whether for a novel or a play, two notions are important: observation and empathy. It is possible to imagine the physique and character traits beforehand, however, observing reality allows you to create very realistic fictional characters. Where are they heading? what pushes them to act?

Likewise, asking yourself what the characters feel, making them act according to their values to maintain a certain logic, all of this is part of what we can call empathy for the characters we create. Personally, I have always really liked the characters in my stories and when I had to create “bad guys” it was never easy and I often write them a past that helps enlighten readers.
