Description

The key to an amazing story is the character journey.
As a book coach, I've worked with authors to develop their character arcs over and over. I believe the GMFS Framework is the key to writing the most rewarding character arcs possible.
Goal + Motive + Flaw + Stakes = Epic Characters
In this episode, I break down these steps briefly, then dive deep into my favorite of the four elements (which happens to be the one most often missed by writers): the flaw. AKA the character's flawed view of the world and themself.
Here's a hint about your story: what your character wants is less important than why they think they need it.
I break this concept down for you in this episode today.
If you want to go deeper into the 4 concepts, join my current course: Nail Your Character Arcs at www.katiemccoach.com/nailyourarcs
