âMy husband got involved with a younger woman at work. Â I was relaxed about it at first. Â Heâs thirteen years younger than me, so I thought: âShit happens.â Â But then she got pregnant. Â Luckily through the divorce process I had the opportunity to take over this shithole place with no heating, which Iâve turned into an art studio. And now Iâm living my best life. Â Everything is for sale except the pink chandelier and the dog. Â Anyone is free to stop by at anytime. Â You can eat or drink whatever you want. Â All the young people in the neighborhood love me. Â Iâm the oldest person in our friend group. Â Everyone else is in their twenties or thirties. Â They call me Queen Mama. Â I call them my adopted kids. Â I always help them with their school projects and resumes and interviews. Â I only ask one thing in return. Â Each of them has to teach me one new thing every week: a piece of music, a trend, an idea. Â Just so I can stay up to date. Â Before you take the photograph, let me go inside and put on some make-up. Â We were out until 2 AM last night.â (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)

Since you left, my rage keeps me warm
Your character is driven by 3 emotional motives. See? I even made a graphic.
(Iâm proud of the graphic, too.)
Mood:Â The immediate (and temporary) emotions of your character. A feeling of joy after kissing the girl they like; frustration after a busy day working a summer job at the fair; despair after somebody eats the last Oreo.
Situation:Â The plot and relationship contexts of your character. The apprehension they feel with a friend in the weeks following a nasty fight; the nerves felt in the week leading up to their big championship game; the frustration and boredom of being grounded after crashing the family car into the county creek.
Struggle:Â The core, deepfelt pain of your character, which often emerges from their background. The fear of failure from overly demanding parents; a deep longing for a family they never knew; a desperate need to be accepted after spending years as an outcast.
How these 3 motives influence your character
The above emotional motives all play an important role in driving your characterâs actions, muddying or even overriding their more logical intentions â just as it happens to the rest of us. (Weâre all human, after all.)
That being said, while your characterâs mood and situation will shift throughout the story, their struggle will remain constant: their true north, emotionally speaking. This struggle will always be at the root of their actions, even as you swap in new situations and moods.
Take Bethany as an example
Letâs say your characterâs name is Bethany, and her struggle is this: a deep fear of failure, stemming from her parentsâ impossible academic expectations, which conflicts with her own desire to finally experience the life she sees passing her by.
Her actions, while primarily driven by that struggle, are going to vary quite a bit depending on her situation and mood. For example, if itâs the night before a big test, she might blow off a friendâs invitation to a party so she can study.
But if the party is a week before the big test, and she finds a handwritten invitation in her notebook from Emma (the girl on the lacrosse team she has a crush on), Bethany might act differently. Maybe she feels a lightness and warmth in her cheeks as she reads Emmaâs note. Maybe she puts those textbooks away, and maybe, just maybe, she sneaks out the window and goes to the party.
But if Bethany finds the note after her parents just chewed her out for being ungrateful and not studying hard enough? Maybe Bethany doesnât go to the party. Instead, maybe she reads Emmaâs note, trembles, then rips it in two, knowing she canât disappoint her parents like that. Then she spends the rest of the evening studying. Alone.
Mood. Situation. Struggle.
All three kinds of emotional motives are important. Your characterâs struggle is the anchor, but their mood and situation are the ever-shifting masks you use to express their struggle in fresh ways.Â
And by the end of the story, hopefully your character will overcome their struggle â putting away the textbooks, sneaking out the window, and meeting their crush at a party. Maybe even having their first kiss.
Whatever the character, and whatever their struggle, Iâm sure youâll do great.Â
So good luck! And good writing.
