After all these years, I finally found out what character arc is. I kept hearing this, reading about it. Your explanation has shown me that I’ve been doing this. Ahh, full steam ahead with my WIP’s. ChiiMiigwitch, Many thanks. Oh joy of joys. Been following you for years and just no saw this. As is said, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

I’m struggling to dramatise a true story from history through the eyes of a two key participants who began as strangers coming together to deal with a horrifying situation and ended as enemies, the one challenging the other to a duel which did not take place but ended in court in a suit for slander. The hardest part is understanding motivation and how the relationship broke down over two and a half years. They both began with what appears to have been the same goal but the conflict was, I believe, over differences in how to achieve that goal. Neither achieved the specific goal. One went on to pursue a successful career, the other was able, eventually, to continue doing what he had always done, despite losing the legal challenge.
This article will help me in my struggle! Thank you.
