Characters and Writing

When you think about it, writing is an incredible feat of the human mind. Even the ability to write a simple letter involves numerous connections in our brain. Furthermore, this makes writing a full-length novel seem nearly impossible, yet writers do it all the time. However, those who truly excel have the ability to transport us to lands far beyond our imagination or bring characters to life in a way that allows the reader to connect with them as if they were real. In this episode, we dive into the heart of what makes good writing, while also understanding the process that goes into it. Writing is hard, and some days are better than others, but it's a deep passion that keeps many writers going. As a result, at the end of the day, it's not a sprint, but rather a marathon, and those who have the passion will win.This is season two, episode six of the Altered State of Affairs Podcast.
