Good Morning my wonderful friends and blog followers,

I am happy that all of you continue to follow me, even though I am so sporadic with this duty! Shameful, I know.
Today, I want to talk a little bit about your main character and his/her goals.
First of all, let me remind you that every story must have a conflict. Without conflict, there is no story.
So, with your conflict in mind, ask yourself, "What were my main character's goals at the beginning, i.e. before the major conflict of the story? What were her/his short term goals - which may or may not be accomplished in this book? What were his/her long term goals? How will the conflict and it's final resolution change (or not) these goals?
Remember: It is important for your character to change and GROW, because of the events in the story.
How will your character grow? Is it an interesting, compelling growth or is it lame? Beef it up! Make it big! What is that saying? "Go big or go home" I am trying, in mu latest WIP (work in progress) to go big, but I'm having trouble. I need to review my character's goals!!!
Have a Happy RE-writing Day!
Mary Ann Duke
