Recently, I am trying to write my own novel, but I came across a problem that is hindering my progress greatly. I can't get into the mind of the protagonist even though I planned her character beforehand in detail; and consequently, I can only grit out chunky, bland sets of sentences that lacks any soul. I am having problems making the character shine naturally. I think these are due to my unsureness on what is the middle ground between too much and too little information on the character's thought process. I fear if I give too little info the reader will become uninterested, and I dislike giving too much simply because I think it as a sign of bad writing. Also, I worry that the reader will dislike the characters when I do give some dimension to the character. I am a little confused on how to approach my writing, and I will be very happy if you can help me out with it.
