Today, we're diving into a hot topic that's been buzzing in the writing community: how to create strong female characters who are compelling, relatable, and, most importantly, not toxic or annoying.
We've all come across those female characters that are meant to be "strong" but end up feeling one-dimensional or worse, downright unlikable. So, what's the secret to getting it right? In this episode, we're breaking down the do's and don'ts of character creation with expert tips, real-world examples, and a bit of storytelling magic.
We’ll cover:
The common pitfalls that make a character feel forced or inauthentic
How to balance strength with vulnerability and complexity
The importance of backstory and motivation in crafting believable characters
Examples of well-written strong female characters in books, movies, and TV shows
