Character Development Exercise: Switch Protagonists

After all, every character is the Protagonist in their own story.

In a recent Create a Compelling Protagonist online class, a question came up: Could we use some of those same character development tools we’re studying with other characters, specifically the Nemesis? Yes, indeed, with an exercise I call: Switch Protagonists.

That is, you can work with every character in your story as if they were the Protagonist. Indeed, from their experience, they are their own Protagonist. And this includes the Nemesis.
