How To Improve Your Plot By Asking Three Questions About Your Main Character

Many seeming plot problems are the result of the writer not knowing his hero well enough. Ask three questions:
  1. When is your main character's birthday?
  2. Was anyone famous born on his or her birthday?
  3. What's the relationship between your main character and his or her parents?
