Restrictions: None
October 17 - Plot Complications
Oct. 17: - Plot: Complications â–¼
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.
* NEED DISASTERS? See the Plot Twists generator at the bottom of the calendar.
