  2. Thoughtshots • The purpose of Thoughtshots is to afford the reader some insight into your character’s thoughts. Not only do they help to explain your character’s actions, but they round-out your character a little more. • In this case, we’ll be working with three kinds of thoughts: flashback, flashforward, and brain argument.

  3. ThoughtshotsThe Flashback I remember that time my brother jumped off the low dive. He land on his stomach. Everyone was laughing and when he climbed out of the pool, his stomach was all red. Flashback Recall a memory that involved a similar circumstance. The memory can involve you or something you saw. The memory can be either positive or negative.

  4. ThoughtshotsThe Flashforward Man, if I do this, I am definitely going to get hurt AND embarrass myself. I’ll end up just like my brother! Flashforward We project ourselves into the future for the purpose of trying to figure out what the consequences of our actions will be.

  5. ThoughtshotsThe Brain Argument If I don’t jump, my friends are going to be laughing. If I do jump, I’ll get hurt. But then maybe I won’t get hurt and I’ll just be done with it...That’s it, I am jumping... Brain Argument This that point just before a decision is reached where we waffle between doing it or not...
