Good article – but I wish you would go deeper and show specifically how to tie character development/character arcs to the beats of a plot.

I’ve been working hard over the past couple of years to improve my character building because I’m a plot/conflict person first. But I agree, the stronger my characters are, the better my story.

Thanks for another great post!

I’ve been struggling for a long time with digging deeper with my characters because I’m one of those people who think of a plot or conflict first. Yet, somehow, I write character driven novels. I don’t understand it. But as I’ve gotten better at developing my characters, my stories have become more better, like you said.

Thanks for another great post!

Great advice! I’ve already saved your book suggestions on Goodreads. (I’ve already read The Fire in Fiction and it was amazing).
