Topic for today part 2: Motives

What is a motive?

Motive

Why is motive important in a story?

Motive points out where a character is most likely to trip, but also highlights the direction the character needs to grow. It's this additional psychological layering that can make even a simple story deceptively complex.

MOTIVE!?!?!?

Motive is a key ingredient that differentiates stories that sizzle versus stories that fizzle, namely because we all want to know ‘WHY?’.

Why does a character want this or that? What drives them? Who would do such a thing? How did a character become a certain way? Can a character change?

How would you describe the man?

How would you describe the woman?

The man, who is wearing the dark outfit, rounds off the scene by calling out: "Make me your villain......."

but what is going to happen next???
