Ascent to the Climax for Writer and Protagonist

April 22, 2010 By Martha Alderson

I have the great pleasure of working with a writer who is as fascinating and inspiring as his story. 

The inspiration for his story hit about 15 years ago. He’s been writing off and on. Well, more off than on… plagued with negative beliefs and internal antagonists and fear of the great unknown.
He signed up for on-going plot consultations and started showing up for himself. He crossed the threshold from the Beginning not only of his writer’s journey into the Middle but also on the the story he wanted to craft, he moved from a few scenes in the Beginning to an actual writing discipline (meaning he shows up for his writing for a specific daily word count).
Next big step was writing the Crisis. That he did this week. He faced his greatest fear along with his protagonist. In so doing, both he and his character died to who they have always been. Truly. I hear the change in the energy of his voice. I sense the change in his focus and consistency by his success.
Starting today, he and his protagonist walk into who they are meant to be. 
He makes the ascent to the Climax for both himself and his protagonist. A time of great transformation. 
The true celebration is still several weeks away. Not until he finishes this first draft and his protagonist prevails in the Climax has he accomplished what he set out to do 15 years ago.
His journey and his progress thus far is huge. He and all of you out there living a writer’s life are why I do what I do. As a writer crafts a story, you reinvent and revitalize your own life. Mine, too… Thank you….
