The Write Focus: 7 Character Sets / Quick Tips for Writers / 7:31

As with the seven scenes that build the story, introduced in the last segment, seven character sets develop the story, increasing the conflict, intensifying suspense, or adding complications.

The four main characters who drive the conflict of the story are protagonist, antagonist, an important friend or ally, and the seeming ally.

Our purpose in this segment is to list and briefly explain these 7 Characters. We need more than their skeletons; we need their minds and hearts.
