A
blog reader from New England sent a great question, which ties into a
discussion happening in one of my online classes right now, about the
growth of a character in memoir and fiction. How that character always
starts their story with a false agreement. How that agreement changes
until the character realizes what's true.
The false agreement also happens in nonfiction. We pick up a book to get new insights, to move from limited knowledge into wider understanding.
So, imagine what false agreement your story starts with. What is the status quo? What does everybody put up with, to get along?
