The Psychology Of Characters, How To Create Suspense, and Some Good and Bad News For Writers

Season 2 Episode 6 Published 4 years, 3 months ago
Description

In this episode, we dive into the process of creating lifelike characters by examining psychology—what makes people who they are? What drives them and why? Political psychologist and YouTuber Abby explains all in our illuminating discussion that's bound to inspire some ideas for your fantasy characters.

I also share a very simple yet very effective method of creating suspense. And there are some interesting calls for submissions, as well as a mixed bag of news, but things I think you need to know about.
