Hello dear Ereki!

I’m under a bit of a time limit, but this week is research week! We’re starting a new ‘line’ of discussion about character arcs. It’s the last big topic that we’re going to hit in our discussion of character development.

So this week, seeing as I’m dreadfully late, I just wanted to throw up a bunch of articles for us to peruse and start to percolate in our minds so that we can start to discuss this in depth during the next couple weeks. 😀

There is, of course, the Wikipedia page, which is informational: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_arc

Next up, we’ve got positive and negative arcs described with great examples (although one of the negative arc examples is about drug-dealing, fyi): https://blog.reedsy.com/character-arc/

Third, we’ve got basically the same dish served in a slightly different way: https://writersedit.com/fiction-writing/create-compelling-characters-character-arcs/

Check these out, guys! Let it get your thinking juices started. We’ll definitely be back to discuss this stuff and see how we can apply it to our own stories.
