Creating a vivid and realistic character is probably the most difficult and challenging task when someone intends to become a good writer. It was the topic of the fourth episode of "The Invisible College" that I listened to. The host claims that in order to create a perfect character, the writer needs to be extremely nosy about their protagonists. They need to know much more about their characters than they write about them on paper. Only then the protagonists will resemble as real human beings and not just some imaginary people that have nothing in common with the reader's world.
Even without having much writing experience I can say that this is definately the hardest task I struggle with while writing. It seems easy when you think about it, but when you have to create a human out of written words it suddenly becomes much more difficult. I also think that the ability to do this well is one of the characteristics that a good writer has to have.
