To kick off my project, I followed Sabaa’s advice and filled out the Goal, Motivation, and Conflict for an existing character. I’ve been watching a lot of Game of Thrones lately, so I decided to fill out the worksheet for one of my all-time favorite characters: Arya Stark.  

Now that I have a feel for how goal, motivation, and conflict might influence a character, my next step will be filling out the worksheets for one of my own characters!
