Three Sides of the Same Triangle
How to craft a believable make-belief world: the weaving together of plot, character, and setting to create an organic, layered whole.
Every story can be told in many different ways, and yet the way you tell the story makes the story itself different. Different characters react differently to identical situations, situations change character, and a plot intended to make use of Character A and Situation B, once put into motion, creates Character X and Situation Y instead. Stories, like life, are full of unintended consequences and feedback loops. Instead of fighting them, learn to use them to your advantage to create a more authentic, more nuanced tale. A tale that will enrich the readers’ experience of your make-believe world and have them coming back for more.
Hosted by Moniack Mhor on Zoom Pro.
