Question about developing the Overall Story Goal
Posted: Aug 08, 2009 7:07 am
Hi,
So I've just started using Dramatica and I am on Level One of the Story Guide. It's been helpful so far but now I find I am stuck.
I'm on the Overall Story Goal and it asks me to revise and expand and give examples about how all the characters try to reach the same specific goal as it relates to Impulsive Responses.
But my problem, is they don't all try to reach the same goal. The goal I've listed is about the protagonist and what she is trying to achieve. All of the other characters have their own goals, some of which are achieved and some of which are thwarted. I'm writing a historical romance novel, if that helps. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I be listing something more inclusive to all the characters as my overall story goal?
