Sometimes, our characters will change for the worse. You can’t expect everything to make them a better person. Bad or negative things will happen to these characters, and they may become vastly different from the character you initially created—and not for the better. This is okay. Refer back to point one: you need to mimic real life. Not every experience is going to be a positive one, so every change won’t be a positive one.

In the end, one of the main things you need to know about how to write a fictional book is how to make it as real as possible (seems like an oxymoron, doesn’t it?). Bring your characters to life, and your story will flourish. Writing a book takes extraordinary attention to detail. Don’t skimp on the details of your characters.
