How Desire, Goals, Conflict, and Theme Create Story Momentum
What you'll learn
Identify what your characters want, why they want it, and how desire drives story momentum across scenes and acts.
Differentiate between character desire, goal, need, and motivation, and understand how each functions within a story's structure.
Use character goals to generate conflict, obstacles, and meaningful stakes that shape plot decisions.
Connect character desire to theme and subtext so character action reinforces story meaning rather than surface plot alone.
Prepare your characters for deeper analysis in later courses focused on moral choice, character traits, and archetypes.
Requirements
No prior writing experience is required.
You will benefit most if you have a story idea in mind, but this is not required.
Description
The BeginningEvery story begins with a want. A character leans toward something they cannot yet have, and the moment that desire appears, the story starts to move. In this course, you step into that first spark and learn how motivation, goals, and need ignite narrative motion from the very first page.Plot Point 1As desire turns into action, the story commits. Goals sharpen, obstacles rise, and pressure begins to build. Characters move out of stasis and into pursuit, setting the direction of the story and establishing what is at stake.MiddleAcross seven focused classes, you will explore how characters push forward, make choices under strain, and generate momentum not because the plot demands it, but because they must. Conflict deepens, stakes escalate, and the story gains velocity through character-driven cause and effect.Plot Point 2As the pressure intensifies, goals are tested and options narrow. Characters are forced to confront the cost of what they want, and the story approaches a point of no return.ClimaxAt the peak, everything is tested. What a character wants collides with what they need. Goals demand sacrifice. Momentum either breaks the story open or brings it to a standstill. Here, you will learn how to design that pressure so it feels inevitable, earned, and emotionally satisfying.ResolutionBy the end, the story resolves with clarity. You will walk away knowing how to create characters whose desires drive plot, whose goals shape structure, and whose inner needs give your story lasting power. The result is not just stronger characters, but stories that move, matter, and stay with the reader.About the Character SequenceThis course explores how character desire, motivation, and goal-setting function as the engine of story. It focuses on intention and action rather than classification or psychology. Moral complexity, character traits, and archetypal or psychological patterns are explored in Characters II and Characters III, which build on the foundation established here.You are encouraged to work alongside your own story idea throughout the course. The concepts introduced here pair naturally with courses on plot paradigms and outlining, providing a strong foundation for deeper character development as your work evolves.Learning goalsIdentify what your characters want and how desire drives story movementDistinguish between character desire, goals, needs, and motivationUse character goals to generate conflict, obstacles, and meaningful stakesConnect character desire to theme and subtext through action rather than expositionDiagnose why a character or story feels stalled by examining unclear or competing desiresPrepare characters for deeper work with moral choice, traits, and archetypes in later courses
Who this course is for
This course is designed for beginner and early-intermediate writers who want to better understand how character motivation drives story momentum.
It is ideal for writers who feel stuck, unsure why their story is not moving forward, or unclear about what their protagonist truly wants.
This course serves as the foundation of a three-part character sequence, preparing writers for deeper work on moral complexity, traits, archetypes, and Enneagram theory in Characters II and III.
