Hello and welcome back for another episode of Octopus Ink.

Tonight we are talking about character and narrative arcs. These two elements of story telling are similar and often can be confused with each other.

There is a small section where I have a guest speaker tonight. My son makes a brief appearance to tell us his take on what makes a great story. The timestamp for this (if you wish to avoid it) is listed below.

3:15 - Austin is introduced
3:53 - I continue my discussion about character arcs

Here are some helpful links that can give you some even more information about narrative and character arcs.

Much love and happy writing everyone!
