Does This Plot Armor Make Me Look Fat?

Ash & Karissa Episode 98

Word of the week: Bellicose

In this episode the hosts discuss plot armor -- AKA the concept of putting your characters through physical injuries and/or challenges that require a certain suspension of disbelief for readers to accept. With conditions ranging from blood loss and oxygen deprivation to the effects of heat, cold, and more, do you know where to draw the line for your story and genre to make sure it can be supported by your readers suspended disbelief?

Join Ash and Karissa as they discuss how to write injuries, physical challenges, and the consequences in appropriately vague, realistic, yet inspiring ways!
