more specifically, creating strong characters.
i can't seem to get into my character's heads and instinctively know what they'd say or do. whenever i'm writing dialogue for a character, i mind goes blank and i struggle to come up with something that specific character would say in a given situation.
it extends to inner monologues too, i have a hard time writing a character's thoughts. the events of a story fly at me a mile a minute, but to me, my characters are stale and dry because i don't know what they'd say or do, so i just slowly make stuff up that seems to fit.
i mean nobody that's read my work has ever said my characters lack depth, its just something that i feel.
no matter how much i practice my writing, this failing doesn't seem to get better. i'm just clueless. is there any advice for me?
