Creating characters arcs.

I’m currently in the process of developing character arcs for my main character and supporting cast in my manuscript. This is something I should have done at the beginning of creating my manuscript when I was outlining. At that time, I wasn’t very proficient at outlining a story or a novel, and I didn’t fully understand the significance of creating a character arc. Writing my current manuscript has been a valuable learning experience, teaching me how to create a comprehensive outline and develop character arcs. There have been many ‘firsts’ with this manuscript.

The knowledge I’ve gained from this experience will be invaluable for my next project, and it has clarified for me what I need to do and why it’s crucial. Writing is not only about storytelling but also about discovering the tools and techniques that work best for me. Over the past 10 years, every manuscript I’ve written has been a learning experience. As a writer, I’ve come to realize that growth often comes from learning from our mistakes.
