Understand how a novel is structured, I will rewrite mine, confident Your website has the most useful and practical guidance.
"I've read more than fifty books on writing, writing novels, etc., but The Word-at-a-Time Story Game and other collaborative games and story creation tools for writing groups. For instance, the main character could see the impact character achieve some minor victories or gather other evidence that she is right, even if she is later eliminated. Then, in his most desperate moment, he will take a leap of faith. Of course, before dropping out, the impact character should demonstrate that her approach may be the right one, so the main character will feel pressured to change. In both cases, the main character remembers the impact character's advice and chooses to follow it, but the decision is still their own. Think of how Obi wan Kenobi is struck down so that Luke Skywalker must decide on his own to turn off his targeting computer and trust the Force, or how Peeta is incapacitated so that Katniss decides on her own to honour Rue's body (ie she refuses to let the games rob her of her humanity, which is what Peeta advises). Often the impact character does drop out part way through the story so that the main character has to face their crisis on their own. And that choice will enable him to bring about a happy outcome to the story. The main character's personal crisis will be the moment he decides to fully embrace the new way of being. Through their relationship and various events, your main character can be pressured by the impact character's example to become braver. In that case, you might create an impact character who represents who you want your character to become - perhaps a brave warrior. On the other hand, perhaps you want the arc of your character's inner conflict to be about this issue? Perhaps you want him to go from being someone who just reacts to problems to being proactive enough to nip them in the bud. Extreme pressure can push someone into a kind of paralysis. They may get very emotional, but be unable to act otherwise. Too much pressure will put them into a panic. With some people, a little pressure can get the adrenaline going and put them in a state where they leap into action. Of course, you have to decide how much pressure to put on him. What I'm saying is that sometimes it can be interesting to put a not-so-brave person in a situation where he is forced to do courageous things because there's no choice. Sometimes it's fun to write a story about a "fish out of water," such as a be-er put into an action plot or a do-er in a story about deliberation. A be-er, on the other hand, will try to solve a problem by changing themselves - for instance, being more diplomatic or trying to fit in. When faced with a problem, a do-er will want to do some external action to solve it - such as mending a fuse, chewing someone out, or killing the monster. It is true that characters can be divided into two types: be-ers and do-ers. Answer: What is a brave person? Is it not someone who does brave things despite feeling afraid? If someone feels no fear in doing dangerous things are they really brave or are they foolhardy? Or perhaps psychopathic?
