@jasondoroughauthor: Memorable characters are driven by why they act, not just what they do. Motivation comes from what they want, what they fear, and the past wounds they still carry. Let those needs conflict and change as the story grows. Keep those answers in mind in every scene, and the character will feel real even when readers disagree with their choices. #WritingTips #BookTok #WritersOfTikTok #CharacterDevelopment #WritingCraft
