Recording: To Arc or Not to Arc with Donald Maass
Character arcs are a fundamental story component, but not every protagonist needs one. Some, such as series protagonists, simply are who they are. How do arcs bring about change and, in their absence, how do unchanging characters become dynamic? If there aren’t demons to vanquish what keeps readers interested? Discover the nuances of arc, anti-arc and no arc in this hands-on workshop.
