Ironically read this just after rummaging through my library where I found all my old discarded stories. They were really quite bad, but the main character that appeared in them still seems interesting. Who knows, maybe I’ll try putting him in something on Substack
Thanks for the article, John. Certainly got me thinking 👍🏼
You’re absolutely right about characters driving the story! Once you know your characters in and out, you can drop them in ANY situation and BOOM-- you’ve got a story. So fun!
And, honestly, the story turns out so much better with a little bit of preliminary character development and world building than it does when you're just trying to wing it.

I hope you do. I'd love to see those stories. 😊
