Update: 2021-08-30

Description

Sam and Jim invite Jerry Landry into the room and together they work on his semi-dystopian comedy, tentatively titled "Dust Country".

Join us in the room for a discussion about how to build layers on to a character with each scene, making sure that each scene has a turn and gives the reader new information, and creating memorable antagonists.
