In this episode, we step into the world of the observer, the scientist, and the tracker.Â
In this episode, we discuss:
The Power of Proof: Why the empirical character is the ultimate engine for plot progression, using the "Sherlock Holmes model" of accumulating observable facts to solve the puzzles of the world.
The Driven Journey: How a single piece of physical evidence can become more powerful fuel for a protagonist's journey than any prophecy.
The Red Herring Trap: The dangerous gap between data and truth, and how a character’s clinical reliance on evidence can lead to a "cold blindness" that ignores the vital emotional context of a scene.
Is your character's next move based on a "gut feeling," or have you provided the empirical evidence they need to justify their choices to the reader?
