Plotting Pretense: Episode 6 The Caravan

About this episode

In this episode, the hosts explore the connection between a caravan and a necklace as they develop the plot for their story.

What do a caravan and a necklace have to do with this story? That's what we begin to figure out in this episode. Laugh, Cry, Wait is a podcast that will give you a behind the scenes view of us plotting Pretense, and other dramas in the future. You’ll get to listen in as we start from a concept and build it out into a plot that’s ready to be taken and fleshed out by a writer. You get to come along with us as we hash out who characters are, what role they play in the story, and how they’ll drive the story to it’s conclusion. Laugh, Cry, Wait isn’t intended to be a fast overview of the plotting process. Instead it’s meant to take you on the rambling ride that a story idea goes through before it becomes a viable plot.
