What
I call the "inner story" in fiction or memoir just refers to the
transformation of a character or narrator through a series of outer
events. It's pretty simple, but its success depends on something called
"false agreements." Without this transformation, and the false
agreements that propel it, a story is just a list of crises. Readers want to witness growth.
Transformation doesn't just occur, right? It usually
happens from a series of events that create change. To make each
change real for the reader, we have to consider where the character's
journey starts. Usually, there is something they don't fully
understand. Something they are challenged by.
