"My story is about a character who wants..."
Hero, quester, knight, warrior maiden, poor boy rising to the pinnacle, poor girl reaching
for new social standing— these are your protagonists. Each character in your story wants
something and wants it bad enough and hard enough to take action to get it. What the protagonist
wants drives your story.
