aka Start Your Third Act Without Being Boring!

This is the longest episode (so far) of Writing Lessons From... and why is explained in the intro.

If you'd like to go straight to the writing lessons, they begin properly at 15:26.

But there's also an important message for all storytellers at the beginning and the rest of it is context, so I hope you'll listen, even if you already know all this stuff because you've watched Alien: Earth and want me to get to the point!

The writing lesson in this episode focuses on something every single storyteller needs to know, so it's worth 12 minutes of your time. While you're walking the dog or on the treadmill or making lunch and cleaning the toilet (careful those earbuds don't fall in!).

Without giving a spoiler as to the big writing lesson in this episode, the general gist is around character development and writing believable characters.

Finally, I managed to watch Barbie! And I tried to stay away from the big themes and focus on the things that I found interesting as a storyteller.
