13.2: Writing Active Characters

Published: Jan. 14, 2018, 11 p.m.

b'Your Hosts: Brandon, Mary, Amal, and Maurice
\\n
\\nThis week we welcome Amal El-Mohtar and Maurice Broaddus to the Writing Excuses cast for a discussion of active characters. We cover characters who move stories forward, who make decisions that influence plot-critical events, and whose actions draw the reader into the book.
\\n
\\nLiner Notes: you\'ll be hearing from\\xa0Amal and Maurice\\xa0during the second week of each month\\xa0of 2018. And if Maurice sounds familiar, he joined us at GenCon for episode 7.40 back in 2012.
\\n
\\nCredits:\\xa0This episode was recorded by Andrew Twiss, and mastered by Alex Jackson, and despite the fact that both\\xa0 Andrew and Alex are very active characters we never give them any dialog.
