Understanding and Defining Your Character Motivation in Your Novel
Defining character’s motivation in your story is part of the task of character building.
Your character has a rich past, shaped by experiences and events we've explored in previous posts about building character backstories. But more important than the past is your character's future—their hopes, dreams, and desires. While the future is always uncertain, one thing is clear: your character’s motivation defines their intentions and how they navigate the unknown. Motivation is the driving force behind every action your character takes, and understanding it is essential for creating compelling and believable stories.
