The first step to creating an outward and inner goal for your main
character, and give your overall story momentum and excitement is to first
understand the best two stories of your character, which gives depth to your
story.
Let me get you thinking deductively with this question.
The inner story of your character: what's the personal struggle your
protagonist is dealing with that can give your story depth, and explore
character and theme?
What traumatic experience in the past of your protagonist caused this
inner story?
For example, in The Godfather, Michael's inner story is about his
transformation from a gentleman who returned from the marines after fighting in
World War II as a war hero into a heartless killer. While he follows in his
father's footsteps to become the Don, but he does it without any of his
father's wisdom or compassion, killing family members and enemies alike.
The inner story is ultimately about relationships. . .
