108: Curmudgeon – Writing Grumpy Narrators & Lovable Jerks (feat. Stuart Miller)
We embraced our inner cranks this week, talking about how to write characters who are difficult, unlikeable, or just plain mean, without turning your readers off. Naturally, we also talked about Scrooge, subtext, and whether being a literary curmudgeon means you’re doing something right.
Around the 20:45 mark, we read stories for Curmudgeon, which featured sourpuss narrators, snide footnotes, and some impressively passive-aggressive worldbuilding.
