13.8: Making Characters Distinctive

Your Hosts: Brandon, Valynne, Dan, and Howard

What do we do to make our characters distinctive? Often we categorize the distinctions as flaws or quirks, and in this discussion we use those as our starting points.

Credits: This episode was recorded by Dan Thompson, and mastered by Alex Jackson. 

Homework: Who are the five people you know best? Make a list of their distinctions, as if they were characters in a story you’re writing.

Thing of the week: Ink and Ashes, by Valynne E. Maetani.
