What type of protagonist does your story feature? There are 4 types, each of them can be a constant character or a change character, and each one evokes a different emotion from your reader/viewer. And that’s exactly what I’m studying this season starting with the hero which could be a literal superhero, or it could be a little old lady. And Melanie is studying the story premise and how to articulate a story in one sentence (because it’s a skill EVERY writer needs!). There’s loads of great stuff coming up this season, starting with this episode all about Murder, She Said. Enjoy! -V.
