What your character can and cannot do – as well as how he does them – goes a long way toward opening and closing options for scenes and scene tension. Something your character struggles with can be an obstacle in a scene or an area for growth. Proficiency at a skill gives insight into your character’s upbringing, attitudes, and lifestyle. Here are skills that I consider important for my stories. Feel free to share in the Comments section any additions or modifications you make – your insights might be helpful to others!
