, Don t just write a strong female protagonist; Be one. –Adrienne Posey, author and screenwriter By Brigit Atkin Novice authors and screenwriters often make the common mistake of writing heroes by default; they create characters whose names are on almost every page but who are only the leads due to the frequency of their appearances. They are victims of circumstance who don’t drive the story through their choices. Instead, they react. They focus their creative energies on the bad guys and the continuing escalation of crises.
