Break the stereotype.
Write real characters.
Do you remember the last time you watched a movie or read a book, and guessed the ending after two minutes?
We all know these stories.
It's almost hard to find a quick example, because there are so many. Also, because such stories don't linger in your mind.
You might wonder:
But there are great stories with stereotypical characters!
The art is to successfully break them.
Showing, that there is a three-dimensional person behind the veil of a stereotype.
