The Foundation of a Great Conflict: Pt4

Good decisions

No one can tell you what a good decision is. A good decision for one person may be a bad decision for another. A good decision when you are twenty years old may be a bad decision when you are forty. So, how do you know if a decision is good? A good decision is one which does not hurt you, hurt another person, or start a chain of events that will cause future damage.

We make good decisions as we grow, heal, mature. That is why the average character is weak at the beginning of the novel but each conflict pushes them to grow, mature, heal, until they learn how to make good decisions.

Maturity is a learned behavior

The ability to make good decisions can be taught

The hero in a story can learn how to make good decisions. They are pushed from one conflict to the next, learning skills, developing problem solving strategies. This is the foundation of a good conflict. It shouldn't just be something interesting that happens to the main character. A good conflict has a purpose. There is a reason it is in the story.
