Ep. 308 | WRITING EXERCISE: Go DEEPER With Your Characters
Lorien McKenna is joined by TSL producer Alex Alcheh for a really exciting exercise.
Get out your pen and paper, make 4 quadrants and follow along.
Lorien asks specific questions about YOUR LIFE to unlock the depth a character should have. They discuss character introductions and how most have such little specificity.
Lorien highlights the import to ask questions of your own life so you can ask those questions about your characters.
And, she gives one additional exercise within the exercise - The Trader Joe's Test.
