Motivation and Objective Story Characters

Not at all, it’s just every time I come back to Dramatica, I feel like I have to jump through hoops with all the abstract mumbo jumbo just to get from A to B. I understand a lot of that comes down to impatience on my part, but still feel like a lot of the ideas being conveyed could do with, among other things, some simple examples.

Examples like this one right here…

Thank you, Daniel. THAT I understand. Simple words and straight to the point. Please allow me the pleasure of digesting that.

Motivation is the basic thing a person wants, the reason behind everything. In my case, it’s “to have a career he loves doing.”

The purpose is the thing that will satisfy that motivation. It could be a number of things. I could become a fireman, or a hit man for the mob. Instead, I chose to “become a professional writer.”

Methodology is what a person does in order to achieve the purpose. In my case, “writing and learning Dramatica.”

Evaluation is gauging progress and satisfaction. The more progress I make, the happier I’m going to be. So for me, that comes down to, “coming to these message boards and also feedback on his writing oh, and also, selling his work of course!”

Oh, yeah. You bet’cha.
