Carolyn Pierre-Outlar’s Transformational Journey

What I learned doing this assignment is how important it is to clearly define your character’s arc before you even start writing.

Who is your Hero and what is their Character Arc that represents a transformation? My hero is Mekhai Santos, a 22-year-old recent college graduate who goes from being a naive, insecure pushover to a strong, confidant, and formidable adversary.

Internal Journey: From powerless and insignificant to respected and feared.

External Journey: Unemployed college graduate to the one who takes down a powerful drug company.

Old ways:

1). Guilt-ridden, timid

2). Momma’s boy, cares too much about what others think of him

3). Materialistic, thinks money will solve all his problems

New ways:

1). Fighter, confident

2). Secure, independent

3). Selfless, brave

Hi everyone,

My name is Carolyn Pierre-Outlar. I’ve written 5 webisodes, 3 1/2 hour pilot scripts, 3 short films and this will be my first feature film script. My hope is that I’ll finally complete my feature film script with the help of this class and that it will surpass my expectations.

Something fun about me…hmmm…I was once one of five members in an R&B girl group back in the day.
