Thought of the day:
This is life in a nutshell. And I think it’s good to keep this quote in mind in fiction, too. Generally, people don’t have major revelations and change all at once. It’s something that needs to happen gradually, over the course of the story, so your character isn’t the same person he/she was when you started out.

Really good point. Then, the next trick is to show that change without it seeming contrived–“my master needs me to change, so change I must,” thinks the wooden protagonist.
Excellent point! It all has to feel organic.
