About this ebook
This guide is for novice authors who think writing a novel is a magical process. It isn’t. It’s damned hard work, combined with great patience, raw talent, stunning creativity, and, most of all, the overpowering will to succeed. Of all the novels I’ve read over the years, one thing stands out in my mind. Characterization is everything in all stories. If you adore a character, you’ll follow them to the edge of the universe and back again.
Here, I will share the secrets of creating a compelling story through each character’s goals, motivation, and conflict. The key to an engaging story has always been the characters and how they interact. A writer should know each character’s goal (what they want), motivation (why they want it), and conflict (why they can’t have it). So I will guide you through the nuances of crafting and identifying their goals, motivation, and conflict to ensure your readers keep turning pages late into the night, even though they are falling asleep as they read.
