EPISODE DESCRIPTION –
In this episode, Zena launches into a new series to help writers identify the five main steps that will help them to break down their stories and not get stuck. Step One: Identify the main character.
- This person should drive the main action of the story
- This person should change the most over the course of the story
- All other scenes in the story should ultimately play into this character's arc
WHAT'S NEXT? Next week, we'll look at step two: Figure out what your main character wants
