QUESTIONS:
1)WHAT DO I WANT? What do you want right here, right now? What does your character want overall: an ultimate want?
2) WHAT IS IN MY WAY? What obstacles keep you from getting or achieving what you want?
3) WHAT IS IN MY WAY? What obstacles keep you from getting or achieving what you want?
STATEMENT: Questions 7, 8, and 9 come together to make the Character Statement. What do you want, what is in your way, and what do you do to get what you want?
For example: If I am playing Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz", I would answer Questions 7, 8, and 9 as follows:
7. I want to get home to Kansas.
8. What is in my way is that a tornado took me to a far away land and I am stuck here and don't know how to get home.
9. The Good Witch told me to follow the Yellow Brick road to see the Wizard so that is what I am going to do!
So now her Character Statement will read:
"I want to get home to Kansas, but I am stuck in a far away land because a tornado ripped up my house and took me away with it! I met a Good Witch who told me that if I see the Wonderful Wizard of Oz he will help me get home so all I need to do is follow this yellow brick road to the Emerald City!"
