This is great! Character development has always been something I’m glacially slow at (understanding people is hard whether they’re flesh and blood or not😅) And now I feel like my MC is too one-dimensional, since I tried so hard to figure out what his ‘inner struggle’ was🫠 Side characters are so much easier because they’re not the focus!
Character arcs and development are always a "beef it up in revisions" for me haha! I'll remind too that inner struggles don't always have to be "big" or "dramatic". Sometimes they'll tell you in the things they say or the way they react to things that help you figure it out first before working in ways to bring the readers in on it!

I just reread Emma, the quintessential flawed but loveable heroine, so I've been thinking about this topic a lot! Thanks for the post 😁
Glad you enjoyed the post! I've yet to read or fully watch an Emma adaptation haha!
