Plotting via Motivation

In this workshop:

Any of us could write a book in which characters get shipwrecked on an uncharted desert isle. We’ve seen what seven such characters would do, over and over and over again. But what would yours do? If you nail down any character’s motivation, it doesn’t matter whether the ship capsizes or lands safely three hours later. Your characters will create a plot from whatever happens because you’ve got their motivation built in from the very beginning…and here’s how to do it.
