Stormy times coming. |
It is time your character went through some tough times. What is the worst that can go wrong? What is second worst? Now write about your character and have that second worst thing happen. Get your character almost through it, then the worst thing happens. How will the character cope? Who comes to his aide? Will he accept the help or work it out alone?
What would be a small ray of sunshine in all this, nothing big or miraculous, just something to give a stress break? Give him that little bit of brightness, then head him back into the storm with that brief break to supply a little faith and determination.
