In this episode, I discuss 10 questions that can help you more clearly define your protagonist and what their goals are.
1) What does their past look like? Did they have a happy childhood or one filled with trauma?
2) Are they similar or different to their friends?
3) What is their religion or belief system?
4) Are their romantic interests good or bad for them?
5) What is their enneagram type?
6) How is the theme of the story reflected in them?
7) How does the setting impact them?
8) Are they emotional or a thinker?
9) What is their attitude towards new experiences?
10) How does their career impact their decision making?
I created the Turn Write Podcast for beginning writers, indie authors, for people who are looking for their voice and who want to know how to use it. The idea for this bite-sized podcast came to me as I sat in endless traffic commuting an hour each way to and from my 9-5 job, wondering why do I write? Why do I rush home every day with the agonizing hope of trying to string together meaningless words to create a feeling deeper than I could dare hope to describe? Well, day after day I kept thinking and there was only one answer: I loved to write. I am on a journey to becoming a published author, and I want to help you get there too.
