Characters: an Overview

Dive Into Writing Lectures

Have you ever had a very clear and specific protagonist become more and more vague or start to change on you as you move deeper into your story? Has your protagonist stopped driving their own story and instead started to simply react to events. Are you throwing things at the protagonist instead of their actions moving the plot forward?

If you're ready to have a simple, clear way to know who your charter really is and what drives him or her, this lecture is for you.

Explore:

  • How to simplify a character and why
  • The interconnection between plat and characters
  • Character traits vs. character roles
  • Literary vs. commercial fiction characters
  • Protagonist vs. Antagonist functions
