I immigrated to America when I was 5 with my nurse mother and artist father. Went through Ellis Island. Took part in the American dream. Started writing in ad agencies, switched to articles, then novels. Wrote several screenplays (one was optioned). Currently interviewing talent (actors, directors, producers, and writers) for an entertainment magazine. Have one traditionally published novel currently on Amazon--Healer A Novel, which ended in a nail-biting cliffhanger. Just finished the sequel--The Search for Dr. Noble--coming out soon.

When should you introduce your protagonist’s personality flaw?

It’s a question of timing. Because when and how you introduce your protagonist’s principal personality flaw can make or break the emotional impact of your story.

Organically, as Early as Possible

Try to introduce your protagonist’s flaw within the first scene or chapter where they appear. You needn’t spell it out right away, but your readers should get a sense that your protagonist is not perfect, Read more of this blog post »
