Also, Hayley, take note that the Growth: Stop/Start question is one of the last questions the Dramatica creators urge you to answer when storyforming.
Whether in the weekly Dramatica Writers and Users Groups in Burbank, or in classes taught elsewhere, Chris Huntley and other master “Dramaticans” consistently say that “Stop or Start” is often best left to the software to determine. Fact is, one or the other option will “choose itself,” once you’ve made enough other selections regarding stuff you’re more assured about.
Because most Growth for the Main Character (whether s/he Changes or Remains Steadfast) does involve both some Starting and some Stopping, and because this really is mostly about what you want the audience rooting for, you’re typically better off to leave this question unanswered.
Instead of stewing over it, simply move on to answering other storyforming questions you’re more clear about, then wait and see what the software selects for you, either Stop or Start.
Then storyweave so the audience will end up hugely rooting for the MC to Grow, and rooting specifically for whichever Growth option your total selection of appreciations has elevated higher. Hoping that helps…
