Episode 236 - How to Build a Cast with Victoria Tait

[@maryvaneverbroeck7270]

A fun podcast! I’m excited to keep learning how to write and build cast scenes. Jeff, I enjoyed seeing and hearing how you developed characters in your Mencken and The Monsters book series. I especially liked how you discussed various ways to combine characters based on their personality traits and the roles they play in the story to provide readers with a variety of enriching experiences. It was fascinating to hear how a writer’s creativity can shine throughout a series by using combinations of anchors, engines, and hazards to build character growth and change. It reminds me of the art of dancing-understanding how all the steps synchronize within the unique type of dance one is performing. Jeff, your teaching was very helpful. Thank you. Hi Victoria, I’m thrilled for your success as a cozy mystery author and wish you the very best in writing your next cozy mystery series. Thank you for sharing your experiences and for asking questions that helped enrich the discussion.
