Character development?
When writing, what's the best way to develop your characters? Their history, their lives, their relationship to the other characters? I can think of a few basic details of the characters, but I need to flesh them out better. Are there any templates out there, or anything like that?
Thanks in advance!
3 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoWhat's the best way to lose some weight?
I'm a 28 year old male. I'm 6', and I've been hovering right around 300lbs for the past 6 months. I don't eat a lot of sugarry stuff, and I have maybe one pop a day, if that. I do, however, average about 3-5 cups of coffee throughout the day.
As far as how active I am, I do go on walks with my family, but I would hardly consider them to be aerobic. I also have to be cautious with what activities I do because I've got arthritis in both knees (yeah, I know, the weight doesn't help that). Basically, I need to lose some weight, which will bring my blood pressure in line, as well as put off the diabetes that runs in my family.
I am open to suggestions, serious ones, because I can't seem to find a good way to lose the weight, and keep it off.
Thanks in advance.
