The Post Midpoint Hero
It's all different now.
The Writers Block
The Post Midpoint Hero is all about action. After the events of the Game Changing Midpoint, your hero now embarks on the same quest as before, but with renewed confidence and a better plan. They are ready to take on whatever comes their way. They know they can’t avoid the problem any longer forcing them to face their fears head-on.
At this point the hero is still afraid, they are still learning, and everything still runs against their internal conflict but they have committed to overcoming and gaining the skills necessary to solve the problem. It’s at this time, the hero starts to do the right things in the eyes of their mentor, or maybe it’s the wrong thing, but their mentor respects their choices. Either way, the Post Midpoint Hero is a new person, capable of great things and confident enough to pursue those things. It’s this new confidence that will ultimately bring them down toward true character change and growth in Act Three.
Here are a few tips for writing the Post-Midpoint Hero of your story:
The Hero creates a new and seemingly better plan
Give them more confidence
Continue to keep the goal rooted in their internal conflict but from a different angle
The Hero thinks this is the only path
Make the other characters disagree with the hero

On the bookshelf…
As I continue my trek through Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive, I continue to be inspired by the immensity of these stories. Writing is very hard, and there are many times as I write when I question if I can even do it. But reading great stories such as The Stormlight Archive inspires me to reach even higher in my own writing, and push the boundaries of my stories.
