Storytelling
Storytelling features as the topic for National Novel Writing Month. That is, the Dark Corner Podcast looks at different parts of storytelling. For example, we discuss character and plot as well as setting and theme. Also, we watch the first two episodes of The Mandalorian. Additionally, we admire the portrayal of the tarot in Titans.

Additionally, we admire the portrayal of the tarot in a recent episode of Titans. That is, we respect the accuracy in describing The Tower, The Moon and The Hanged Man. However, we still find fault in having only trump cards appear in a reading.

Storytelling
For NaNoWriMo, we talk about storytelling. That is, we address each aspect of storytelling as parts of a living organism. For instance, the characters present the heart of a story. Meanwhile, plot forms the bones upon which to build. Additionally, the setting provides the skin and the theme represents the brain. Furthermore, we address conflict, rising action, and resolution. Also, we explain the role of the antagonist. However, we look at diversity and style as well. Mainly, we apply a basic framework to telling a story. First, we introduce a weird thing. Second, we compel the character to deal with the weird thing. Third, we have the character either accept or overcome the weird thing.
Shout Outs
Finally, Dave shouts out David Haylett. Meanwhile, Brandi acknowledges Christopher D. Littlefield.
