On the 12th, we talked about sitting down with your character and getting to the bottom of who he thinks he is to discover their values, dreams and fears. (If you missed it you can find it here.)
WHY do we need to know what they value? Because we want to make them SUFFER.
But why do we want suffering? Isn’t that cruel?
Hey – that’s the price of a good story! Lots of angst and suffering. Suffering makes the character uncomfortable, and causes…CONFLICT!
