11.25: Elemental Mystery is Everywhere
Per our Elemental Genre theme, this week we further explore elemental mystery. Elemental mystery can be found in any work in which our curiosity is what keeps us turning pages. The type of satisfaction we feel at the reveal may also reveal the elemental genre in which the element of mystery has been embedded.
Credits: This episode was recorded by Daniel Thompson, and mastered by Alex Jackson.
Homework: Put a mystery into whatever it is you’re working on. Look at what your character knows they need, and then remove that knowledge. Force the character to figure out WHAT they need.
Thing of the week:Thud, by Terry Pratchett, narrated by Stephen Briggs.
