    Well Isn't This Convenient

    Word of the week: Anathema This week the hosts of The Scripturient Society writers group and podcast discuss "plot conveniences", including their personal favorite/least favorite conveniences, as well as how and when to use them. Not sure what the hosts are referring to as a "plot convenience"? If you have seen a character develop a sudden infinity for the exact super power they need to move the plot along, or a character finds just enough of a letter to send them in the right direction, you know what we're talking about.   Join Ash and Karissa as they discuss plot conveniences!

    The Power of an Unlikeable Protagonist

From when to utilize an unlikeable protagonist to tips for walking that fine line between an unlikeable protagonist that readers will root for versus an unlikeable protagonist readers cease to care about, there is plenty to say on this interesting and complex topic.   Join Ash and Karissa as they discuss the science (or art) of writing an unlikeable protagonist.

    Plot, Paper, Scissors

    Word of the week: Aglifft In this episode the hosts discuss how to identify elements of a story that need to be cut or replaced to take your story to the next level. Learning how to recognize elements of a story that only serve a purpose once or twice as a plot device is important to developing a watertight story that doesn't leave readers shaking their heads.   Join Ash and Karissa as they discuss the uses, dangers, and fixes for plot devices that just don't quite fit into the larger story.
