Readers want a character with a goal.
A goal they pursue relentlessly.
They don't want a story about a guy who sort of likes a girl. They want a story about a guy who can't live without the girl, even if he doesn't realize it right away.
What's at stake?
What does the hero get when she wins?
What does the hero lose if he fails?
The bigger the stakes, the more satisfying the read.
Be Brilliant!
