  2. Romance structure, or romance beats, are very unique to the genre. They are honestly a perfect formula for making the romantic journey compelling. But most importantly, they make the relationship feel earned.

  3. The hero’s journey is all about the steps the hero takes and how they return home, changed. It has lots of archetypes to work with and once you see them, you can’t unsee them.

  4. Goal, Motivation, and Conflict:
    Not only does the motivation explain why a character wants a goal, it also creates the heartache that we feel as the characters struggle to achieve their goals.

  5. “A character’s relationships show who they are. Who we like, why we like them, who we hate, why we hate them, and what we will do for and within our relationships shows who a person is better than anything else.”

  6. Having your reader understand the subtext of what a character is saying or doing leads to unease and tension. If they know that a character is lying, the unease and uncertainty that comes from that will up the tension.

  7. What is the difference between a motif, a symbol, and a theme?

    A symbol can be a one-off thing, while a motif is repeated. It takes a symbol and repeats it throughout the work. And through its repetition, it expresses the theme of the story.

  8. Every character needs a GMC (goal, motivation and conflict), because honestly, that’s the basics of humanity. We all want something and we all have our reasons for wanting it.

  9. You do not need to be a female to go on the Heroine’s Journey, which is why we picked this movie! It is about contending with the divine feminine and masculine, outside of how they relate to gender and sexual identity.

  10. Subtext is all about understanding a character, especially their secrets, and using that to inform on what they say and do, without revealing the secret or being overt about their thoughts. It’s really all about what isn’t said, but implied.

  12. “The Lie: Find the reactions that your character is having to certain conflicts. These will be symptoms of the Lie. For example: when another character tries to show them love they reject it or don’t believe it. By finding their reactions or their symptoms, you can ask yourself “what lie are they telling themselves that makes them react this way?”

  13. “The older the reader is, the longer the book can be (outside of genre conventions). The older the reader is the more advanced the vocabulary can be. And the older the reader is, the older the references can be.”

  14. “If you think of your world and the antagonistic forces as a character, then you can see how they interplay with your main characters throughout the story. Having a strong external conflict gives your story a forward momentum.”​​​
