It’s not just your protagonist who must change!
In a story your protagonist faces the possibility of change before they can solve the problem they face, win their true love, or defeat their enemy…in short, achieve their heart’s desire.
Funny thing is: as writers, we face that moment of decision too.
That’s what I’m talking about on the podcast this week.
What if you could slide up to your desk, knowing that you were going to have a good time, with your writing?
What if, when you sat down to write, the words just flowed? What’s the secret ingredient that makes this possible?
