I was inclined to keep my characters’ goals mysterious but now that I’ve laid them out it’s actually made the writing easier as well as heightening the conflict and making the story more dynamic.

I love the way you break down the character arc’s and show the motivations for change. Way to go sensei!

THANK YOU for your posts. I was deliberating about making a change to the beginning of my novel, and after reading your post on “normal world,” I made the change. Now it’s a much stronger novel. (just in time for publishing in June!)

Your wisdom makes for better fiction!
Nathan

You know what I mean.

Seriously though, super helpful.

But, alas, it is clear to me now. You are a cyborg twin. 😉

The part that really struck a nerve with me was, “Remember, an antagonist is not necessarily a bad guy or villain. An antagonist merely has goals that conflict with what the protagonist wants.” That immediately snapped into place who the main antagonist is in my WIP. Before that, I thought I just had a bunch of little antagonists and not one big Boss, but yeah, all my protagonist’s problems stem from her relationship with the main antagonist. She has a conflict with the main antagonist in Act One, loses, and then must face the Boss again at the end. This has really helped me see that the changes I’ve been mulling over making to my plot are the way to go. Thank you!
