Effects

Your MC experiences Effects or feedback from her Cause as well as from other characters in your story when she engages in her Desire Obtainment/Conflict Resolution Processes.

These Effects can serve as indicators or signals that confirm whether she is on the right pathway towards obtaining her Desire. However, they can also warn her if she deviates from the desired path.

Thus the Effects that your MC experiences can be both confirming and warning in nature. Confirming Effects provide validation, peace, and confidence, indicating that she is making progress and moving in the right direction. These Effects nourish her and reinforce her commitment to her chosen path.

However, it’s important to note that there may be multiple Causes in the story, each with their own agenda or perspective. These Causes can influence your MC and provide conflicting feedback, making it challenging for her to discern the true pathway towards her Desire. Some Causes may offer feedback that aligns with her chosen path, while others may present conflicting viewpoints.

Discerning between these Causes and interpreting the Effects she experiences becomes a priority for your MC. She needs to carefully consider the various feedback she receives and evaluate its alignment with her desired path.

The Effects of her chosen Cause serve as guiding factors that help her navigate through differing perspectives and make informed decisions.

Because of the variety of Effects and influences of various Causes, your story will have layers of complexity and decision-making for your MC, which deepens the narrative and creates opportunities for character growth and development.
