💐 how to write character-driven stories // THE THREE C’s

[@paytonjletko]

"consequences are what push your plot forward and develop your character" - great takeaway!

[@kiwifruitkl]

(1) Context: the situation (2) Choice: the decision that the character has to make in that situation (3) Consequence: the aftermath of the choice The purpose is to have decision-making main character who has to face the consequences, good or bad.

I also struggled too as a young writer just writing scenes that seemed to have no true connection to the character! I think today I'm still a more vibes than plot kind of writer hahah so I learned a lot from this video!! Thanks for sharing :)

[@lynndjung]

It's tough!! One of those things where I always knew something was off but couldn't figure out the *fix* for such a long time. Strong vibes are also important for a story tho lol! Anytime

[@dominic9258]

Very helpful, thank you!!

[@Achraf.OUBELLA_AcOu]

do you read wuxia, xianxia, Xianhuan novels? must of them are character driven mixed with a little bit of plotting.

[@Achraf.OUBELLA_AcOu]

I love Chinese webnovels, especially the Xianxia type, interesting characters, cool power systems, incredible worlds, etc... and now i hope to mix between the Chinese type novels character and worldbuilding with the western plotting to write my own novel.

[@DaveMcE]

I'm going to use your suggestion.

[@cassythetree]
