CHARACTER REVELATION
& STRUCTURE
Revelation
¡ What seems is not what is
¡ Contradiction of characterization creates dimension
¡ Pin the character goal on the wall and keep it in check when
writing.
¡ In case of a series that have many casts, make sure to not
lose sight of the main protagonist. Story can focus on the
other protagonist occasionally, but the main character should
take part in it or somehow connected to it.
