Character Motivation

from How to Write Good · host Daniel Poppie

Character motivation and character goals are not the same thing. If you haven't check out my episode on why that is the case, you should check it out. I think it is very important to know the differences between these two things because motivation can help make your writing and story very interesting. Because of this, I would like to dive into character motivation more. It can be a very complex thing within a story. It can be something that makes your story wholly unique, and though you may be able to get away with only having character goals, I think you should seriously consider developing your character's motivation as well.
