SWRT 356 | Ask Alida: Character Arcs and Agency

In this week's episode of the Story Works Round Table, we are bringing you a discussion from our monthly live Q&A Ask Alida. In this episode, we talk about crafting a compelling character arc, and why it's important to your story, including common problems with character arcs, and weaving them into your story. In the second half, we discuss the importance of agency, how to tell if your protagonist is too passive, and what a lack of agency can do to the enjoyment of your reader.
