Ever read a thriller with never-ending action and conflict?
Of course you have, or one day started one, now collecting dust.
The problem is exhaustion. The character failed to breathe unless
gasping for lifesaving oxygen.
Here's a writing tip.
Think three dimensional. The character has a past, present, and future.
In each dimension the character has internal conflicts, external conflicts,
goals, and motivations. While they can be the same, odds are they are
not. The simple explanation is that characters as well as humans mature,
learn life lessons, fail, and a myriad of other things.
Saying this is seeing the tip of the iceberg. Explore every detail to broaden
your character. You'll be glad you did.
Self-serving note
