How do you make wooden character feel real? These are my tips and tricks on how to make your characters feel realistic and interesting. A collection of different writing tools that I use when writing my novels and when I'm editing too! If you feel like your characters aren't coming to life on the page, then try some of these writing techniques. Hopefully they'll work for you too.
Who am I and why Writing?
I’m Thilde Kold Holdt. I’m an author by profession, and my debut trilogy is Epic Historical Fantasy closely based on Viking history and beliefs, called the Hanged God Trilogy. I dug deep into my research on the Viking era, even joined the brilliant crew of a Viking longship! I've studied Creative Writing and keep learning more about the craft, which is what I'm here to share.
You can check out my epic fantasy novel, Northern Wrath, here:

I am a Scandinavian (Danish to be exact) so I do speak a Viking language (I know, very cool), which means I’ve had access to a crazy amount of research and have become a bit of a Viking saga history buff. I go really in-depth with my research (we’re talking moon calendars and vegetation charts), amassing more knowledge than I could ever put into a book. That is a big part of why I started this channel-to be able to share what I have learned on my research journeys, both about writing and about the specific history of the Vikings.
Once a month we will explore a part of Viking history and once a month we will ALSO explore a writing technique. We will talk about things that surprised me while becoming a published author, explore writing techniques in english and in general some novel writing tips, like how to outline a novel, or even the basic of how to plan a novel outline and things later in the process like how to edit a first draft of a novel. I want these videos to be accessible for beginners and also authors further along in their journey and hope that they can be a point off discussion so we can all grow together as writers.
If you want a particular writing technique simplified or explored in detail, then let me know in the comments what kind of writing technique you’re most interested in getting a little creative writing lesson about!
