The Power of an Unlikeable Protagonist
Word of the week: Hirsute
In line with the theme of this week's episode, the hosts discuss perhaps the most unlikeable word of the week yet, before diving in to the process for crafting an unlikeable protagonist. From when to utilize an unlikeable protagonist to tips for walking that fine line between an unlikeable protagonist that readers will root for versus an unlikeable protagonist readers cease to care about, there is plenty to say on this interesting and complex topic.
Join Ash and Karissa as they discuss the science (or art) of writing an unlikeable protagonist.
