Most writers know how their characters need to change. They know what happens on the plot level. They know their character's struggles.
Often, though, the main character doesn't seem to change, even though the external events change dramatically. Other stories stay mainly in their character's interior without jumping into the fray of action.
Either way, the story can be static. The best stories blend both the inner and outer journey.
In this episode, we'll explore 3 approaches to help you integrate what happens on the plot level with your character's internal journey.
