About this listen

In this episode, we explore characters who are impossible to pin down.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The Quicksilver Element: Tracing the word from the Roman messenger god to the liquid metal that shatters and reforms, providing a metaphor for characters who refuse to hold a permanent shape.

  • Consistency in Inconsistency: The secret to writing "random" behavior that feels earned, ensuring that rapid mood shifts reveal deeper layers rather than just serving the plot.

In your current draft, is your character a solid rock, or are they quicksilver?
