About this Quote

This quote by Jessica Cutler highlights the complexity of human behavior and the challenges it provides in storytelling. In reality, people often say one thing and do another, making it challenging to anticipate their actions and comprehend their real objectives. Nevertheless, if this very same approach is applied to composing characters, it can make the story confusing and tough to follow. As readers, we anticipate characters to have a particular level of consistency and coherence in their actions and words. When this is lacking, it can interfere with the flow of the story and make it less appealing. For that reason, as writers, it is essential to strike a balance between realism and coherence in character advancement to produce an engaging and relatable story.
