What I learned is to get in touch with a powerful confident moment before you begin the writing process. It makes sense.

Who is my hero? Jason a young man trapped in the world of gang membership. He sees no future outside of possible incarceration or death. He wants a life with his long time girlfriend.

His internal journey: he wants to live a normal life without having to look over his shoulders constantly worrying about police or attackers.

External journey; How do I deal with my friends in the gang. How do I relate without coming off as soft.

Old ways: always doing things to impress the gang, taking risk day after day involving criminal activity. Unable to share his real feeling towards his girl or his family.

New ways: He can actually say”I love you”
