Free Workshop: How to Write Fear That Feels Real

How Does Fear Play Into Character Arc (Part 2)
In last week’s post, we discussed fear’s role in character arc, as well as the backstory elements you should know about your character’s past. Their wounding event, the resulting fear and lie, any emotional shielding, and their unmet need will come together to determine who your character is on page one. And then their current...

Is Fear Weakening Your Story? 5 Mistakes to Check
Writing about your character’s fear can be tricky because it rarely sits out in the open where everyone can see it. Instead, fear is hidden, rationalized, or the character puts on a mask and pretends it isn’t there at all. Yet when fear is shown well, it becomes an obvious force driving a character’s decisions,...

How Fear Shrinks Your Character’s World Over Time
Fear is something we all experience, a psychological early warning system that alerts us to possible danger. When we encounter a situation that contains unknowns, fear kicks in.

How to Write Authentic Character Behavior
Some stories stick with us more than others, and why? The characters. They feel so real.

When Friday the 13th Meets Valentine’s Day
This is the second month in a row where the post I anticipated writing has been preempted by events—this time, by the calendar. Given the conjunction of two of the year’s most emotionally charged days, how could I not write about fear and love?
Let me tell you a story.
One of the most significant writing workshops I ever took part in was titled “Finding the Story.” It was run by screenwriter Gill Dennis, most famous for his script for the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line.
In the workshop, Gill provided three cues, and we were to write scenes from our own past that those prompts suggested. The prompts were, in order:
Moment of Greatest Fear
Moment of Greatest Shame
I Love You …
