We’ve
been swimming in plot-land, so today we’ll take a break and focus back in on
our main character. If you’ve been with us all month, by now you know who your
MC is, what he wants, and what stands in his way. You also know how she’s going
to fail. But there’s still more to consider where your main character is
concerned.
What
are his stakes? Are the same as the greater stakes of your story? Do they
change as the story moves forward?
How
do you introduce her? How self-aware is he? And how will you present him to the
reader? Is she an open book? Does she have secrets? How do his flaws come into
play with your plot?
With
a little over a week to go until WriMo starts, it’s time to nail down your main
character.
TODAY’S LINKS:
What
is your main character’s greatest strength? What is his/her fatal flaw?
