The drive for equilibrium becomes a character’s super-objective.*
Robert McKee

It turns out the acute angles, rough edges and the imperfect matches of diversity actually work better. Especially when you’re dealing with a human.**
Seth Godin

It’s there in so many stories:
The protagonist finds herself in
a challenging, unfamiliar world, and
all she wants to bring about is a
return to her known, predictable existence,
Only to find that she must play
this story out;
But it will be here that she will face her
demons and daemons, and
she will either die or
be reborn with
renewed sensitivity towards surprise and possibility.
