One of the characters in my story is a traitor to the mission, I want to make sure he is not a cookie cutter stereotype, but I am having a hard time with avoiding the two extremes; of a really bad guy who everyone knows will be a traitor, or the super loyalist that would be the last person anyone would expect to turn sides. What can I do to stay away from the pitfalls?
Are there any copies of Creating Character Arcs available that aren't in reverse print? thx I see no one else in the comments mirrored my sentiments...
@@KMWeilandAuthor Oh ok. Great. Do you have any advice on defining (or even selecting) a character's need? I have a couple that seem to address the character's wound, but I'm struggling to select the one lie that plagues them and therefore the truth they must embrace. This character's ghost created several lies. Do you have any tips on choosing one?
This was soooooo helpful. I've been getting them all smudgy
Your books have helped me a lot... Thanks!
much love
Always in love with KM❤
Your response was nuanced and clear--quite a difficult reply to construct, what with the thorny cross-pollination between the two dichotomies.
I think this is the best explanation of need, want, truth, and lie I've ever heard! Thanks so much!
Thank you. A very clear explanation. 🌹
Missed you. So glad to see you again. Thank you for all you do.
So glad to have you back--my life feels more complete again 😄 "lie based/truth based" is a very helpful angle on the want/need
Jane Eyre’s my favorite novel too 😊. Have you read its prequel “Wide Sargasso Sea”? I haven’t - do you recommend it?
Do you have any advice on red herrings? Or misleading the characters or audience without being cheap or contrived?

Hi ma”am 👋 what is the difference between premise and theme? And where to use them
Thank you so much that was really helpful! In what ways does this more expanded perspective emerge by the end of the story and take over the lie?
