This week in the Cold, we're talking about the art and purpose of conversation. Not just any conversation, but the kind that allows for nuance, true insights, a real connection. As a fiction writer, my greatest tool is observation. To be able to capture the essence of a character and do it generously is what makes for a good story, as far as I'm concerned. Something that feels light on the page and sticks with you. Having conversations with people - even when they are very different from me and hold opposing views - is what enables that. That's why I also want to offer you what I think is a long, meandering, complex and wonderful conversation. It's between me and my friend, Ricardo Lopes, aka The Dissenter, and happened on his podcast of the same name. As promised on this week's Cold, here's the YouTube link: #730 Victoria Dougherty: Science and Literature, Character Development, Realism, and Free Speech - YouTube The Dissenter with Ricardo Lopes is also available on Spotify and all the usual suspects.
