About This Episode
In episode three, we are continuing to develop our characters for the short story we are plotting.
Last time, we began fleshing out the characters, especially Dramna, who is our protagonist. We only got about halfway through, just to the point where everything we’d done on creating attributes, motives, figuring out her Enneagram and her level were about to make sense. Not that we meant to stop on such a cliffhanger for you!
This week we are hoping to finish developing Dramna, starting with her inner conflict, and then add a bit more detail to her parents and Ubhri, her love interest.
