Hello First post here. I'm currently on my first proper attempt at writing a novel, and am about 20,000 words in. However I have had a bit of a crisis of faith in my story and protagonist. Whereas before they seemed real and interesting, now my character feels a bit flat and I can't seem to drive the story forward. It's like I've realised I don't know as much as I thought I did about my character, but I don't really know how to move forward without knowing her much better. And I keep wanting to go back and change a lot of what I've written, to make her into something different, because I've lost faith in what I've written her to be so far. Anyone have any suggestions for how to move forward from here? I really don't want to abandon the book at this point. I've been trying to fill in character exploration worksheets and things I've found online, but am struggling because I look at the questions and don't know the answers...
