Choosing your Main Character's Growth, Stop or Start, is much like asking if a glass is half empty or half full. A Stop story focuses attention on a "half full" Main Character that needs to be emptied. A Start story focuses attention of a "half empty" Main Character that needs to be filled. Attention to what is there or what is missing helps your audience understand how a Main Character must develop in order for her to Change or remain Steadfast in her Resolve.
