Character Development: External & Internal Journey

Every character in every great story–regardless of length, medium, or genre–has not one journey to complete but two:

An external journey and an internal journey.

And those journeys must be intricately linked. 

External Journey 

The journey that the character physically takes.

The external story is the stuff that’s happening to the hero on the outside. Examples:

The hero’s quest to find a buried treasure. The journey to another planet to recover a lost space probe. The hero fighting the evil queen who killed their brother.

Internal Journey

The transformation that occurs as a result of that physical journey

It’s that internal journey that so many of us forget about or neglect or simply don’t put enough effort into developing.

But it’s also the journey that matters and makes your story matter. 

The internal story is the emotional stuff that’s happening to your hero on the inside.

It’s the hero’s internal journey toward learning their ultimate life lesson. 

Examples

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

External: An alcoholic woman helps solve the case of a young woman’s disappearance. 

Internal: A troubled woman confronts the demons of her past.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

External: A girl is forced to leave her home and fight to the death in an arena with 23 other teens.

Internal: A girl finds the strength to stand up to the corrupt Capitol and refuse to be just another pawn in their games. 

Me Before You by JoJo Moyes

External: A woman becomes the caretaker for a quadriplegic man whom she falls in love with.

Internal: A woman finds the courage to live her life for herself, and stop living it for everyone else.

Hi! Your blog is really really cool and an awesome source of information with so much context and detail! I really love your approach of like "don't not do it; research, learn, and do it well"!

So Idk if this is a reasonable question or not but I thought it would be better to ask than not to: So I'm endeavoring to write a kids picture book and in it there's a little girl who's Black with a physical disability, probably moderately quadriplegic, and I was wondering about what kind of hairstyles might be realistic for her to potentially have?

Like I know she could technically have anything that a real person could have, but like I don't want to just pick something out for the character just based on how *I* think somethings looks without having a context I don't have yet if that makes sense?

She's about 5 or 6 and she's able to use her hands but she'll have spasticity in them and be using adaptive equipment, and she can move but she'll be in a wheelchair most of the time, so Idk how that might factor into how she/her parents might kind of style her hair?

(it won't really come up in the story since it's about her first day of school, but like more from a design standpoint)

Also idk if this matters to add but I wouldn't be personally doing the art, I'd probably try and connect with someone to illustrate, but I would like to try and have some pretty concrete descriptions for them to work with when the time comes.

Thanks so much, you're so awesome!!!!

That's a good way to summarize my mentality, and I appreciate you catching that! I do get frustrated when people approach writing people different than them as "well is it yes or no" when that's not what it is. It's "put effort into it or leave it alone". Because many things can be done! We can be in any story! It just has to be done with...wait for it... INTENT!

As for your question, she's an industrious child because I was not doing my own hair at 5 and 6 lol. That's a young age for hair. Maybe a ponytail or afro puff at best. I think it would be okay if you allowed her parents to do her hair, which does lead back to her being able to have any style that she might like. Maybe something with less barrettes and such, since they might fall out and she may struggle to put them back in.

So my suggestion would be to look up hairstyles little Black girls, and go through your options and pick one!
