How to Write a NEGATIVE Character Arc
In today’s video we’re exploring how to write a negative character arc that frustrates your reader (in a good way) and leaves them thinking long after they finish your story. First I’m going to demystify the whole idea of negative character arcs, then I’m going to show you the ONE overarching structure that can be applied to any negative character arc (3 act story structure friendly!) and finally we’re going to case study some of my favorite negative character arcs and look at what makes them so compelling.
Stay tuned for PART 2: the case studies!

My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the power and psychology of storytelling, transforming their ideas into a masterpiece, and creating a lifestyle that makes their author dreams come true.
Story isn’t about “what happens” — it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel – and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!
