Upgrade

Read Judges 4-6

Judges 5:25 "He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish."

An upgrade involving our characters can take many forms. We can use it as a motivation for action—our character wants a nicer house or a better life.

We use it to escalate the problems facing our protagonist. Every time a problem is solved, it creates a bigger one.

We can also use it when outlining. Once we begin to list the adventures our heroes will face, we can imagine something even worse at each plot point.
