Warning: This chit-chat includes major spoilers for my most recent audio, Your Tomboy Friend Shows Up... In a Dress? I would not recommend listening to this chit-chat until after you have listened to that story. Additionally, if you really enjoyed that story, I do not recommend listening to this chit-chat at all, as my criticism from a writer's standpoint may ruin the story for you as a listener.
Another audio, another lesson! Take a peek inside a writer's mind and learn how my toxic characters (often) come to be. Sometimes, I choose to write toxic characters for a bit of drama. (Remember your obsessive roommate?) But this time, when listening to my most recent script come together, I realized that I accidentally created a—... Well, I wouldn't call it a "toxic" situation, but it's definitely less than ideal when you think about it. And I mean, really: You have to think about it. Maybe some of you didn't notice any flaws in our speaker while others agree that my character was "insufferable" in ways. Nonetheless, I'm going to take this as a lesson for future scriptwriting!
