Are we now in a new place at the end of it?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That disciplined way of thinking essentially never fails, but maybe there\u2019s a more interesting way to look at it, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way I\u2019ve just phrased it puts the emphasis on the exterior. (Does Bond defuse the bomb? Does Lizzy Bennet get closer to her Mister?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what if we look at the same thing in <em>interior <\/em>terms? So the questions might shift to something a little bit more like these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What was my character\u2019s state of wisdom \/ learning \/ emotion at the end of the last chapter?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have those things been altered (even ever so slightly) in the course of this chapter? Are we now in a new place at the end of it?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, that interior focus will work quite badly for some books. Any geo-political thriller shouldn\u2019t really be too interested in Jack Ryan\u2019s state of maturity and wisdom. Those books really do need to care, mostly, about saving the world. Likewise, crime fiction that\u2019s written as part of a series can\u2019t really do the Ascent to Wisdom journey time after time after time. (Yes, you can have some personal challenges \/ insights in each book, but they won\u2019t have the scale and import of those in standalone novels.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But a rule with exceptions can still be a pretty handy rule. If you\u2019re writing a coming of age novel, or a romance, or really anything with an emphasis on interior development and learning, then this is a very handy rule to set alongside the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And just as you find familiar tropes emerging when you use the exterior rule, you\u2019ll find familiar tropes emerging when you use this interior approach, too. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your character faces a challenge. She trains and fails. She trains and succeeds. When the Big Challenge arrives, she is nervous but prepared.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a romance, your Mister is deficient. He fails with his future Missus. He works on that deficiency in some way and fails. Works again and succeeds. Everything goes swimmingly with the Missus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your young adult protagonist has never really had an encounter with the other sex. But the girl\/boy has some mission to do with a boy\/girl, and they become highly engaged in that project, and then they develop feelings for each other&#8230; and that manifests as romance, not just as project work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll notice that in all these cases, the themes are learning, training, development, new accomplishments. I suppose that\u2019s because those things are the nature of life, or at any rate the bits of life that a novelist is most interested in. And following these tropes just isn\u2019t a negative. You\u2019re not being unoriginal; you\u2019re delivering to the reader the exact thing that brings them to the book in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, you can have learnings of this sort that a character is only jerkily aware of. So let\u2019s say that you have a 14-year-old girl training for a big karate fight. She can enter a chapter believing she\u2019s going to lose. She can end the chapter thinking the same thing. That wouldn\u2019t violate our rules, so long as the reader sees that some kind of transformation&nbsp;<em>is<\/em> happening, unaware of it though the character may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a matter of fact, imperfect self-awareness in a lead character is a really excellent thing to make happen. It creates real texture in the book. You\u2019re forcing the reader to read your character, not just your words \u2013 because yours words aren\u2019t (directly) revealing what\u2019s going on. Readers love those challenges, so the more of them the merrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FEEDBACK FRIDAY \/ Character blind spots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, there are two FF options this week.
