Let's Create our Heroine ~ Brainstorming Wednesday

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been illustrating how I build stories by involving you in brainstorming a new one. Whether you're a reader or a writer, I hope you’re having as much fun as I am following the comments and throwing in your ideas.

As promised, today we’ll work on the heroine, but in addition to exploring the lie she believes, I’d like to include another important element in the dialogue—her goals. What is she after? What does she want to accomplish and why? And how is that going to bring her into conflict with the hero?
