In this Story Snack episode, we’re answering another writer’s Reddit question: Where do you even start when it comes to developing character motivation? We’ll dig into how to uncover what drives your characters, from mining their backstory and personal experiences to exploring their fears, goals, and values. If you’re looking to give your characters depth and a clear sense of “why,” this episode will get you on the right track. Perfect for writers who want characters that feel as real and driven as the story they inhabit!
