Writing Characters Who Don’t Know What They Want (Yet) | Reddit Question

A Reddit writer asks: Is it okay if a character doesn’t have clear motivations early in the story—especially if they’re going through an identity crisis? In this episode, I explore how characters can evolve over time, and why not knowing what they want at first can actually serve the story.
