Rewind Storytelling
I’m Justice Tilsher—bestselling novelist, story coach, and founder of JesusWriMo. I wrote my debut novel at 17 as a homeschool student, and now I help Christian writers like you silence the fears of comparison, self-doubt, and the lies of the enemy—so you can finally step into your God-given calling and write the book you were created to share. If you’re ready to write and publish the highest-quality book of your dreams—and change lives for Jesus—hit play below.
"As each have received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of Gods varied grace."
— 1 Peter 4:10

Ep. 25 - Writing Tragic Character Arcs with Hamilton the Musical
In this episode, I’m diving into one of my favorite stories of all time — Hamilton. But we’re not talking history. We’re talking heartbreak.
We’ll unpack how to write a broken hero like Hamilton — a man who climbs and climbs, only to realize he can never reach enough. And we’ll explore the haunting mirror of Aaron Burr, who spends his whole life waiting… until everything he wants slips away.
I’ll break down how to use desire, fear, and misbelief to craft gut-wrenching character arcs — and how tragedy isn’t about the fall. It’s about the fact they could’ve avoided it.
This is the anatomy of a downfall. Let’s write it well.
