Have you ever experienced the spark of a story and jumped in with fire and passion only to find out that 30 or 50 or 75 pages later the story sputters and dies? The number one reason for this phenomenon: weak, one-dimensional characters. Characters without depth, without dimension, do not drive their stories. Enter the need to understand and exploit archetypical figures. Â
