Hi!

I recently published a book titled The Mathematics of Life and would love to be interviewed about it. This inspiring book explores the story of my long and crazy life where I overcame paralyzation at the age of 10 and became a circus acrobat, lifeguard and stuntman among many other things. For more information on my book please visit themathematicsoflife.com.

I’m willing to send a free copy of my book as well!

Thanks!

Comment on Character Driven vs. Plot Driven by C. Michael Fontes

Looking at character relationships is always important, though I am not sure it affects my definitions above.

Also, characters are not always driven by their wants/desires. The anti-hero is a prime example of someone who does because they must, not because they desire.

Thanks for reading my post!

I think it is important to look at the relationship between characters when deciding to call a work character driven. Characters strive to fulfill their wants and most of our wants include, or are influenced by the relationships we have with others. Thoughts?

I’ve started both Across the Universe and Matched. Both have been amazing so far!
