Babies and bears have a lot in common. They’re both cute and cuddly. They both like to color and play peek-a-boo. They both eat porridge and dress up for Halloween. But as Linda Ravin Lodding and Lara Dombret's PB can attest, babies are NOT bears.

Your main character should have a defined goal in the story and subgoals in each scene to help them reach their main objective. What does your main character need to accomplish?
