Where My Demons Hide
Tap into your protagonist’s inner turmoil
Earlier this month, I wrote about the importance of putting opposition in your hero’s way. I undersold the importance of opposition by saying that it gives your story flavor.
It actually does way more than that.
Obstacles create conflict. Conflict is the engine of plot. Plot creates the crucible in which your hero is squeezed into confronting the inner demons they don’t want to face. And that internal confrontation is what makes a story.
