Your characters, however, should have some idea as to what they think is the way forward for them. (They don't have to be right incidentally!). They should also be striving to moving forward all the time towards whatever their goal happens to be. Of course the clashes come when other characters want to thwart that objective (for good reasons according to them). But your characters should still always be trying to find another way to move forward and overcome the obstacles suddenly in their way.
Often in writing, the way forward is not clear cut. Sometimes there can be too many choices as we write (just what do we do with Character X? What we decide will affect their fate and the whole story!). Equally when trying to market a book, there are so many options to go for.

AuthorI'm Allison Symes and I write novels, short stories as well as some scripts and poems. I love setting my work in my magical world, the Fairy Kingdom, and my favourite character is Eileen, who believes hypocrisy is something that happens to other people without caring that statement is hypocritical in itself! Eileen is huge fun to write for and about. Archives
