When you're creating a character out of nothing, you have to make all the guesses as to how they walk, how they talk, how they think. It was all there on the table for us to pick and choose for Murrow.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you play a character, there are choices you have to make about the past, the present, the future, etc. You have to make those choices on your own a lot.
I don't think I could've carried the weight that Murrow carried.
When you put your characters in a dire situation, they often do things that surprise even you, so you have to go back and revise your original conception of who they are.
Make your characters believable, and your reader will believe what they believe.
Characters can be mysterious and you're not really sure which way they might turn at a given point.
I think one of the things you have to learn if you're going to create believable characters is never to make generalizations about groups of people.
No matter who the characters are, you can strip them down and find small universal truths.
Most writers are drawn to what is unknown, rather than what is clear in any tale.
As with anything, you need to keep your creative juices flowing and keep the character interesting.
Murrow covered something because it needed coverage. He wasn't trying to get an audience just for the sake of it.
