10 11,2009
Get motivated and create action within your stories…
In today’s episode, we talk with Chad Corrie (www.chadcorrie.com) about motive and influencing action within a story. Why do characters behave the way they do? Where do the characters look to motivation? Well, if you are a writer, these items originate and grow from you.
Quote of the week:
“How to gain, how to keep, how to recover happiness is in fact for most men at all times the secret motive of all they do, and of all they are willing to endure. ”
~ William James
Writing Prompt for the week:
Use the quote of the week to remind or find your happiness. Where will you lead your characters and how will they find their happiness. How much will they be willing to endure as they struggle toward their happiness? Write it in a poem, short story, or novel, but write and enjoy.
