Coming of Age Stories

Nature Museum's Anniversary
Where were you ten years ago today? I was in faraway city, in a relationship that seemed destined for greatness but that was soon to fail, with no furry friends to purr in my lap while I read the Bridget Jones Diary...and I had bangs. In short, I was basically unrecognizable.

We've all come a long way since then, haven't we? New homes, new family members, new 'dos. Some great successes, some great mistakes, all that brought us here - to Chicago, or wherever you're lucky to be living. And the same can be said for pretty much anything that's lasted at least a decade. Some wear and tear, but, so it seems, nothing we couldn't handle. So here's a little happy birthday wish to the Notebaert Nature Museum. For ten years, it's been helping Chicago families learn what makes this planet cool. From the butterfly haven with 1,000 flutterers, to the rooftop garden overlooking the city and pond, the museum's provided refuge, fun, and education in a completely non-stodgy way. And to celebrate, we're all invited - for free. For 10 days of regular programming, plus extras like cooking with bugs at Bug-a-Palooza (uh, not my cup of tea but maybe yours?), a Halloween costume contest, and bike, shoe, and electronics recycling. Happy b-day, NNM.

When: Fri., Oct. 23-Sun., Nov. 1
Where: The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, 2430 N. Cannon Dr. (773-755-5100)

A coming-of-age story can get bogged down if it doesn't stick to the tried and true structure that makes all stories work - that is, a story should follow a character who is overcoming obstacles to achieve a certain goal. In other words, don't think of your story as "This is when Susan became an adult." Think of it as "This is the story of Susan trying to save the family farm when her dad has a stroke, her mom crumbles under drug addiction, her teacher accuses her of cheating and her dog dies." The "coming-of-age" part of your story should come organically from an actual story. 640-721 Plan the character arc. If the major thing motivating you to write this particular story is the desire to demonstrate how a character changes from child to young adult, you will want to spend considerable time mapping out that character change. That change will be key to your story. The road of change a character follows during the course of a story/plot is usually referred to as character arc. For instance, Luke Skywalker starts out as a wimp and ends up a Jedi thanks to the different events and people he encounters during the various Star Wars movies. MB2-631 When you start to put together your story, think first of who this character is to begin with and what makes her immature: Is she selfish or scared or has no luck with boys? Think of who is she at the end: mature, giving, socially poised, etc.? After you know your point A and point B, you'll have to do the much tougher work of figuring out how she gets there. 1z0-007 Make sure the changes are incremental and not instantaneous - few coming-of-age stories take place overnight even if the inciting event that pushes the character toward adulthood does occur
