GMC - SIMPLIFIED

"I am – I Need – I Desire…"
Goal, Motivation & Conflict - SIMPLIFIED

Goal, Motivation and Conflict seems to be the BIG MYSTERY of fiction writing. Everyone says that they're essential to good writing – and they're right, they are. Absolutely. But this stuff can be a little confusing.

Let's begin at the beginning…
-- What are all these things and why do stories need them?

Goal is what your character THINKS they are after.
Motivation is what makes them WANT to go after it.
Conflict is what Gets In Their Way.
-- Internal Conflict being ANGST or Drama.
-- External Conflict being the PLOT or Events.

Advanced CHARACTER Creation

Advanced CHARACTER Creation ~ for Fiction
Hero ~ Villain ~ Ally
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are three essential characters in every story. There may be any number of side characters, but in traditional Adventures, and Romances of every stripe (erotic or not,) the main conflict is usually, if not always, a TRIANGLE of complimentary opposites.

Translation: You could tell the whole story with ONLY these Three Characters; perhaps not with any real detail, but you could still do the entire basic plotline.

THREE Characters?

I'm sure you're familiar with the names Hero & Villain or Antagonist & Protagonist already. Those are preAdvanced CHARACTER Creation3 years ago in Writing

The Art of VILLAINY

The Art of VILLAINY ~ Making Realistic Villains for your Fiction ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"People will do far more to Avoid Pain than they will to Seek Pleasure."
-- CIA Profiler Gavin DeBecker on Human Nature

True Predators
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I craft a villain, I go out of my way to make darned sure that my fictional villains are as realistic as the villains we face in real life. I begin by giving them ordinary human Issues.

Within every villain (fictional and non-fictional) there's a human issue at core that drives them to BE villains in the first place. Even mass murderers have reasons (however twisted) for doing what they do.

Writing ANGST

One way to add excitement to your story is by adding lots of bad-guys, also known as EXTERNAL Conflict. Another way is by adding INTERNAL Conflict, more commonly known as Angst.

I'm sure most of you have noticed by now that most movie characters, and far too many book characters, are One-Dimensional. They do stuff, but they don't face any personality issues: a hang-up, a fear, paranoia, a moral code, a love interest, a strong dislike… Or worse, they do have all these things, but they never really affect the story.

There's a Plot Arc, things happen, but no Character Arc. The things that happen don't affect the characters emotionally.
