First up is great essay by Juliette Wade on character arcs. When you're writing stories things should change for your characters, they should be affected by their actions and the actions of others. If they stay the same from the beginning to the end of the story, what was the point of writing it? Unless, of course, they're James Bond or Jack Reacher, then you expect your character not to change. http://talktoyouniverse.blogspot.com/2010/09/character-arcs-how-characters-change.html
