Enrich the Story You're Writing with a Character’s Psychological Issues


by DiAnn Mills @DiAnnMills

I believe character drives story through wants, needs, goals, challenges, victories, defeats, motivation, personality, and life experiences. Psychological issues often stand in the way of personal success, but the determined character discovers what is missing or warrants an adjustment for a happier and more fulfilled life. Those traits show louder than the character’s words.
