JC Peterson brings her knack for contemporary wit and real experience to Am I Write? Podcast to talk about “garbage disaster” characters that deserve a chance to grow from mistakes.
Use dialogue purposefully and hear why each character needs to go into the conversation intentionally. Use conversations to move the plot forward and make them interact with their surroundings—get in those scene details without stopping.
Last, JC shares her real and honest experience with querying, drafting, and persevering. Understand that it’s always long, and there’s always obstacles in the path, so celebrate your little wins as a creator!
