Worlds in Characters: Recent Episodes
Anthony L. Wolf
Games, films, books, music, feeling hungry and opening the fridge looking for a slice of your favourite cake… All of these have one thing in common: stories.
Hello everyone and welcome to my writing podcast! I’m Antonino (or Anthony, if it sounds easier) and, as you can guess, I’m not a native English speaker. I’m also a writer and editor, which means I have my own unique slice of language challenges to overcome.
If you can bear listening to my weird accent, I will offer you guys insights into the life of an obsessed storytelling maniac with too many interests. In around 10 minutes.
It can be difficult to seek experiences that you wouldn’t ordinarily look out for. But these are the experiences that teach us the most. The key to growing as a writer is stepping out of your comfort zone and trying to learn something new each time. In this episode we are discussing why you should embrace “conflict” and how it can make you a better writer.
Why are Ross, Rachel, Joey, Chandler, Monica & Phoebe so damn relatable? What's the secret that brought Friends to success? In this episode we talk about a long time favourite - digging under the surface with the aid of Storytelling.
I played Katana Zero. Beautiful game but, like many, I was left unimpressed about the ending. Why is it that some endings just don't feel right?
Stories are everywhere. If you've known me for long enough, you know I live by that mantra. What does it mean to see the world with the eyes of a writer? Let me tell you all about it.
We made it, my dudes! It is New Year's Eve and this is the last episode of the first season. Today we are going to learn more about what it means to 'let go' when writing a story, both on the micro and the macro level.
Many writers tend to be afraid to put their personality into a story. In truth, that is the single thing that makes the difference between a conscious writer and someone who's still developing a voice. Here's why letting go will make your stories even more relatable.
Your story is on a great track. All goes well, until... One of your characters faces certain death. What to do?
So your antagonist is a bad criminal boss who loves torturing people. Cool. But how does his character work?
In this episode we are looking at the difference between active and passive characters, and why you shouldn't fear the latter at all.
We talked about seeing your story as a house. This is how to structure that house and how to handle single floors to make sure the skeleton holds a strong piece of storytelling mastery.
Stories are like houses. You'll hear that metaphor a lot. But stories aren't just rigid structures you can plan, build and then hope they will stay up by themselves. Stories are subject to change. Just like every human being. Follow me on this new episode of Worlds in Characters, in which I try and explain (pretty badly) the delicate mechanism of writing stories.
Have you ever wondered about the destination of a person walking down the street? Have you ever felt even slightly excited about an unexpected event? We humans crave stories... And stories are everywhere, if you know where to look.
Introductions tend to be boring. Listen to me introducing myself... as I would do if I were talking about one of my characters.
Have you ever wondered what it means to see the world from the eyes of a writer? It brings a lot of unnecessary fluff to your brain, that's for sure. But it does have its perks. Let me tell you what this show is going to be, and most importantly, why you should care.
