But all stories need one main protagonist. When we don’t know who your main character is, we have no one to root for.
Why is picking one character to focus on a good idea?
We need to know who we’re experiencing your story through. Your protagonist is the portal. It's how we hook into your story from the first page to the last.
In this episode, you'll learn why focusing on one character creates a richer experience for the reader, and an easier writing experience for you.
You'll learn what to do when you have multiple character viewpoints, co-protagonists, and other characters who have a stake in the action.
And I'll give you 3 questions to help you nail the main star of your story.
So grab a pencil and let's do this together.
