Thank you for another great article! It's interesting how multi-layered character responses to external conflict can be. Characters could face the same conflict and survive it, but have different internal responses to it.

Thank you! Yes, it is super interesting. That’s also one of the fun parts of being a writer, to explore those reactions and dig deep into the characters and understand why they responded that way 😃

Sometimes (if outlining or creating backstory first helps), it can also be fun to create different scenarios to put the characters in to see how they respond before you put them in the main action!

Love it ☺️ It's both fun and very helpful for fleshing out the characters.
