About this Talk
This is the key to upgrading your plotting skills: create a compelling character and watch the story-sparks fly!
One note: When I say there is no "good" or "bad" to being high or low on a trait, what I mean is morally speaking. Being out of balance though can lead to people seeing the world in a narrow way or seeing other people in a narrow way. In other words, it screws up our perspective. This is good for us fiction writers because that gives us something to work with as far as the character arch!
