Character development exercises

I happen to know a great book doctor whose blog, "Show Some Character," is quickly becoming one of the most popular character development advisors around. Personally, I've had Jason Black review one of my own books and his critique completely changed how I approached my characters--for the better! He posts a blog entry once or twice a week and they are always spot on.

Cheryl Corbin at http://www.learntowritefiction.com/ also has some great articles on character development and her "Write Wise" newsletter has weekly advice from major published authors who describe their experience with thorny writing problems. Her most recent article was on Terry Goodkind.

Both of these sites are free and packed with great info.
