The Mask

I recently discovered this resource and found it amazinly helpful for a story’s character development to identify the Mask as encompassing the four elements:

  • Longing/Need,

  • Wound,

  • Belief,

  • Fear

These create a MASK that = Identity versus Essence (which is the person beneath the mask).

I hope this explanation below is helpful to all of you out there.
