About this ebook
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by how much information and how many full-length books there are about writing? Have you ever bought several books on writing, thinking they will make you write better and/or faster, but instead you read and read and push away the time you should spend writing?
The Busy Author’s Guide series is a series of short ebooks meant for all kinds of writers who don't have time to wade through yet another full-length book when they should be writing.
This series will provide you with bite-sized help, inspiration, tips, and creative exercises because small steps are easier to tackle than giant leaps.
In this book, How to Get to Know the Backstory of Your Characters, you will get the means to develop the backstory of your characters. Some of these questions exist in another book in this Kindle series, How to Get to Know Your Characters with Character Interviews, but this book has some additional questions that will help you go more into the depth of the backstory of your characters.
Includes a free download: Character Appearance Workbook
Kylie Day
Kylie Day is a lover of books and stories, an avid reader, and a passionate writer. Last time she counted the books in her bookshelves, she had over five hundred of them (the digital library was too extensive to count). While physical books feel magical in her hands — and smell even more magical — she prefers to buy ebooks because she doesn’t have any room for more bookshelves. If she had the money she would buy a library, just to fill it with amazing books.Her love for books is why she, as of the spring of 2015, has a BA in literature. She could never see her life progressing in any other way since that first time she picked up a book and read it with fervor as well as stuck her nose in it just to smell the magic on the pages.Now Kylie is chasing her childhood dream of becoming an author. The Busy Author’s Guide-series is a series of short ebooks that is meant to help others with the same dream.
