✨ STEP 3: CHARACTER TRANSFORMATION ✨
I document how the character changes from the beginning to the end of the story. Defining their starting point, destination, and the pressures that shape them helps me build an arc that grows from their experiences.

A dark fantasy novel doesn’t have to begin with a map, magic system, or plot twist. It can begin with a character—and the truth they’re desperate to avoid.

✨ STEP 2: THE HERO’S JOURNEY ✨
When it fits my protagonist, I use the Hero’s Journey as a planning guide—not a rigid formula. It helps me map trials, choices and change.
Which story framework do you use?

✨ STEP 1: CHARACTER MOTIVATION ✨
I start with two protagonists and one antagonist, then ask what each wants and why. Their competing motivations reveal the story’s first conflicts.
What drives your protagonist?

If a spell saves one life by stealing another person’s memories, is it healing or harm?
What moral dilemma sits at the heart of your magic system?

Auren thinks it’s another routine lesson—until Kado pulls up the rope, seals the opening, and leaves her in complete darkness.

A writer's spouse learns to recognize certain phrases.
"I've had an idea."
"I just need to make a quick change."
"I want to try something with the ending."
You smile. You nod. You know that whatever happens next probably isn't going to be quick. 😂
“If your protagonist met you, their author, what would they be angry with you about?”
I torture my characters...so yeah! 😵💫
What about you?
