change start character’s problem
August 12, 2005
Continuing exploration of problem-solving and justification. Here we take a look at the Change Main Character.
As a Change Start character I try to build up a “platform” to make my way out of the well. But I don’t do this by grabbing pieces of the wall in front of me to stand on. I can’t dig through the wall to get out - that would be focusing on the wall as my problem.
For a Start character, it is what I am NOT doing that is the problem, not what I am doing.
So I’ll have to start gathering whatever is around me to make it out of that well.
