How do you write character growth? Find the lack: What does your character lack at the start? What must change to reach their goals? Add change: What agents of change promote new growth? Conflict, windfalls, loss, discoveries? Plan growth: What skills or insights could a character gain scene by scene and over the long haul? Use perspective: How do other characters feel about the ways a character has grown overtime? How do they react? Include setbacks: What setbacks could threaten a characters growth, adding to suspense of your book or screenplay? Show the cost: What might growth cost your character? Friends, money, time, innocence, security?
