Show Notes

There are a variety of monsters you can have in your writing, and not all of them appear like monsters at first glance. When we dig into what a monster is, we encounter the question “what qualifies as a complete monster?” The answer is rarely its appearance or species. Rather, a complete monster is quantified by actions and choices.

In this episode, we discuss the different kinds of “bad guys” in story, and look at how to write a complete monster.
