I’ve decided to dive into my character arcs for my third draft. I’ve struggled with this a lot in the past and I think this will help reveal things that I can improve and where I’ve succeeded too. Some of it’s gotta be good right?

Yesterday I read this interesting blog about #CharacterDevelopment, #CharacterArcs, & reactions to trauma/challenges guided by #CharacterCharacteristics ...

Some characters charge headfirst into adventure, while others take a more lackadaisical approach. 😌This word describes someone laid-back, unmotivated, or just not in a hurry. Have you ever written a character who just can’t be bothered? #Lackadaisical #CharacterArcs #WritingLife #DesertMysticEditing

Expressing interest in someone else weakens the intended connection and confuses your readers.

Finally got around to watching the last season (7) of #YoungSheldon 🤔😊 As an occasional #ScriptWriter I think it's a great lesson on managing multiple #CharacterArcs 😎 I loved it though found episode 13 difficult for personal reasons ❤️💜😎 #WritingCommunity #SeriesRecommendation

I'm realizing I #wrote a lot of the first draft focusing on one character (Kenaed), even in other character's PoVs. Meanwhile they have their own #characterarcs that deserve to be told. Guess this re-draft is for that. #writingcommunity
