Drawing on her years of training in theater and decades of teaching, Van Bergen unveils the secret of using your own archetypes to find and develop already-existing characters. This approach has little to do with how to ""create"" characters or plot stories. Rather, is is more about how to find your characters and story archetypes, or even how to have them find you - using specific skills taught in the book.

Speaking of zen degens, I read a good book that said good characters are expressible as paradoxes Like: “Kid born poor wants to be rich BUT keep all his childhood friends” Good book, though the recipe is hard to follow in an imaginative way
