Ep. 38 - Writing the Mirror Scene: When Your Character Lives the Lie

Justice Tilsher

This is the scene where your character makes their first conscious choice rooted in that false belief, and the world rewards them for it. In this episode, I break down how to write this pivotal moment so it doesn’t just show what they think, but proves how the lie begins shaping their actions, their relationships, and their story moving forward.
