It's important to know who your characters are and what you want them to become or have the best chance of becoming the people you envision for them. That's not to say that stories with static protagonists can't be compelling; it simply means that audiences are less likely to invest in the protagonist's journey and less likely to applaud his success. To hold the audience's interest in the same way, static characters must have compelling backstories and complex personalities. Adding layers of complexity to your good characters is accomplished by writing dynamic characters. Find out the differences between the dynamic and static text in this detailed guide.
