The first tool in the Emotional Toolbox is the Character
Map. The Character Map is a proven way to develop characters that
have a rich compelling emotional journey and a dynamic set of internal and external personal
conflicts. Use this tool to create characters that leap off the page in your screenplay or teleplay. Great screenwriting begins with great characters. Great characters will make your script truly memorable.

Great scripts involve some element of sacrifice.
