Wednesday, October the seventeenth - Plot: Complications

Oct. 17: - Plot: Complications ▼

Complications. Identify additional things that could go wrong for your protagonist. You are not required to resolve any problems yet, just create them. Remember: The more hardships your main character faces, the more readers will cheer them on, and the more engaged and invested the reader will be in your story. Brainstorm a list of problems you could throw at your protagonist(s) throughout the story, using "What If," mind mapping (see the resources at the bottom of the calendar), freestyle writing, or any other form of brainstorming you prefer. Hint: Other characters are a great source of realistic strife, since characters often are driven by conflicting motivations.

Wandita is a Problem Solver. Her life is one complication after another. At the beginning of this novel she is finishing solving one problem. Shortly after that she is asked to check out another possible problem. The closer she gets to doing that even more complications challenge her. True at first, she doesn’t realize they are related, but soon she will. This possible problem isn’t her own complication, though. Her spaceship and her health are also complications.
