Lost My Leg and Gained Wings. Here's What Real Character Arcs Look Like

"You'll never fly again." That's what the doctor told me after I lost my leg in a boating accident at 26. 18 months later, I became the first amputee to earn wings as a Naval Flight Officer. This is the story of grit that changed how I write characters who refuse to quit—and how you can apply this same refusal to your own protagonists. In this video, you'll discover: • Why the scar isn't the story (the refusal is) • How to write characters with impossible odds • The difference between movie grit and real grit • Why your protagonist's wound should shape every choice they make Whether you're writing crime fiction, thrillers, or any story with a wounded hero, this lesson on authentic character development will transform how you approach your protagonist's journey. From the hospital room to earning my wings on P-3 Orions, this is the real story behind writing characters who don't give up.
