Description

Click to listen – your characters (and audience) will thank you.

Have you ever created a character that felt… flat? No matter how detailed the backstory or how polished the prose, something just doesn’t click — and worse, your audience doesn’t care. That’s the pain point. And we’ve all been there.

In this episode, we dig into why your characters might be missing that vital spark — and how to fix it. Whether you're writing a novel, screenplay, or short film, you’ll uncover:

✅ The essential trait all compelling characters share (hint: it’s not just likability)
✅ How paradox, sympathy, and intrigue shape unforgettable protagonists
✅ Why suffering might just be the secret weapon of great storytelling
✅ Real-world examples and feedback that bring these concepts to life

Join us as we workshop character ideas live, break down why some characters captivate us instantly, and reveal the storytelling truths that most writers learn the hard way.

🎧 Press play now to finally unlock the emotional core your characters have been missing.
