you've got a thematic question that rides through a story
you've got the thesis answer riding high
and you've got the "external" plot moving along
and you've got many labels for the same thing, protagonist = main character
thesis - It's a very hard thing to explain.
you're main character is illustrating a thesis, illustrating it working and not working
you've got people whispering genre, structure, acts, character types, and all things that take up brain time that don't lead to thesis' storytelling.
the writers that write well don't teach, they do.
and if they did teach theyd have a hell of a time explaining how they do it.
it's simple yet complex.
it is learned by testing and reviewing and testing again.
starting off, i just write scenes, i play, a character who wants something and wants something else, then after rereading and playing in a few drafts, then i keep a thematic word.
