This exercise offers a different perspective. My MG protagonist is in pursuit of winning public acclaim, which will deliver family recognition of his worth, community adoration, and belonging in a friend group. The questions bring to light some pieces that don't fit. So. More interesting work ahead. When I started this particular novel, I spent a lot of time with John Truby's The Anatomy of Story.
Now I need a bigger notebook so the pages will accommodate notes plus a forest of tree rings. Thank you for the inspiration!
