STORIES>CHARACTER DRIVEN OR PLOT DRIVEN;

OR>>DOES IT REALLY MATTER, THE DIFFERENCE?

The difference between plot-driven or character-driven really depends on the focus of the story. PLOT- DRIVEN stories focus on external conflict and action. The goals of the protagonist are external: get away from the zombies, keep the bad guy from killing innocents, or catch the murderer and solve the mystery. While, CHARACTER-DRIVEN stories focus more on inner conflict, characterization, and relationships between characters. The main character’s goals are internal: overcoming grief and learning to live again, mending a broken marriage, or coping with personal shortcomings. A really good story will have some of both,  It really, really does not matter,,,the difference. you will figure it out. Almost immediately.
