Our third Elemental Drama episode is a Q&A, featuring Tananarive Due. The questions are from the attendees at the Writing Excuses Workshop and Retreat:
- Rather than having a protagonist change themselves, can elemental drama have the protagonist change others?
- What happens when a character refuses to learn, refuses to overcome their flaw(s)?
- What are the lines between drama and melodrama?
- Do you have tips for describing body language that communicates character states?
- Are there cases where you should not show character growth or change?
- How do you keep it realistic when writing a character who undergoes a great change?
