The characters we read about in our novels often face conflict. Whether that is with another character (external conflict) or within themselves (internal conflict), the situations they are in or questions they are dealing with impact the characters in big and small ways. The Tough Questions Signpost causes readers to take a deeper look at the internal conflict that a character is struggling with. Tough Questions are those questions that a character asks themselves but there is no easy answer to. When you see a character asking a question that only they could answer or asking something that relates to what they are dealing with, you know you have found a Tough Question. When you spot this, you must immediately stop and ask yourself, "What does this make me wonder about?" Remember that it is ESSENTIAL that you stop your reading as soon as you find a Tough Question because this will help you recognize the internal conflict, but it may also help you understand what the character is truly going through in the story. | |
