What are some life changing decisions?

I'm writing a story and my main character needs to make like a huge life changing decision but i don't know what can someone help?? It could be anything!What are some life changing decisions?Leaving a hometown is often a huge life changing decision for people, especially for people in smaller towns that have been there their whole life.What are some life changing decisions?Well, everything you decide to do changes your life, you just don't realize it because you are only privy to the path you chose. So you are right, it really could be anything.



Have him choose to walk left instead of right.What are some life changing decisions?Wait, first of all what are you writing abt? Teenage Drama? The Dark side of Fashion, Fame, Sex and Drugs? The depressed millionaire? Cinderella? Tom and Jerry revamped??



It would help if you let us (and yourself) know what is the intention of creating ur character in the first place. Clich茅d 'life changing' decisions will not give depth or essence to your character. So think about. So first define your protagonist's character (Tall, Silent, likes coffee with smoke - Red Marlboro only, loner, etc) and next the intention of your character (Rags to riches, Riches to rags, soul searching, soul mate searching etc). Next make yourself the character, think like him in his character u defined above in the reality of your intentions you defined above.



Next: situations - sit alone and define the scenario -eg: roadside cafe, evening, cool breeze, depressed - then let your mind drift in these and build around these and include more if appropriate.

All these should be knit with a clear understanding as to what you want to tell/show/reveal to your readers. Let your mind drift. And dont worry too much about details. Get a rough story first. Then the hallmark incident(s) in that story. It should be like a well edited movie - the mood, the continuity, the sentiment, relevance, importance... n never miss an opportunity to improvise...

Hope this helps.

All the best!
