Richard is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Overstory, one
of the most praised novels of the decade. His writing absolutely
explodes with life. But perhaps Richard’s most impressive skill is
his character development. And we’re not talking about the stodgy
character arc you learned in English class. Richard shares 40+
years and 14 novels worth of insight on how to write characters
that readers can’t get out of their head. This episode is a
deep dive into the psychoanalytical complexities of character:
drama and tension, thinking and feeling, motivation and suspense.
Plus, we dive into the three different types of character-driven
drama: People against People, People against Themselves, and People
against the Environment. In a nutshell, this episode is a
novel-writing masterclass that you don’t want to miss.
