Every story, long or short, needs compelling characters that push the
plot along and create the motions for the climax. Gregory Gottfried
draws heavily from his everyday life and work as a customer service
representative in upstate New York. Gottfried is at work on his debut
novel, which he plans on publishing sometime in 2017. Gottfried is
constantly reading and re-writing screenplays and drafts for his novel,
which also helps to inspire him and push his plot forward.
Creating compelling characters takes the patience to let the characters themselves breathe and inhabit a world that the author creates for them. Gregory Gottfried started with a few characters he based on real people he has interacted with in his life, put them in impossible situations, and wrote down what happened next, similar in the way that Stephen King plots his compelling novels of the supernatural. Gregory Gottfried wants his characters to be everyday heroes and villains, people capable of immense good or evil depending on the situations they are in and the choices they make to achieve their goals. Gottfried writes to push his characters as far as they will go to see what they will do to reach their destinations and their goals. What cost will his characters pay for their chance at success? Read Gottfried’s debut novel to find out.
Gregory Gottfried is nearly finished with the manuscript for the novel and he plans on finding representation for his work soon in 2016, or he may look into self-publishing as well.
