b'Chestnut Nola asked:\\xa0I\\u2019ve found your podcasts about writing very helpful (and entertaining), so thank you for doing them.You\\u2019ve discussed character motivations and consequences quite a bit, particularly how external motivations can forward your plot. I\\u2019m wondering how you structure the internal motivations of your characters and how that moves within the overall plot. What do you think of the internal narrative of a character and how that helps shape your story? I find the external plot is often very clear for me, while the internal plot, and growth of a character is often elusive until I sit down to write.'
