120. Using Games to Design our Futures with Randy Lubin, part 2
How To Write The Future
“I know for me what I'm working on, especially at the beginning of creating a story I'm asking, because stories have to have escalating conflict, I ask: What is the worst thing that could happen now to my dear lovely character? And now what?What's worse than that? And what's worse than that? And that's how I build my plot.”
-- Beth Barany
