Our third Elemental Drama episode is a Q&A, featuring Tananarive Due. The questions are from the attendees at the Writing Excuses Workshop and Retreat:

* Rather than having a protagonist change themselves, can elemental drama have the protagonist change others?

* What happens when a character refuses to learn, refuses to overcome their flaw(s)?

* What are the lines between drama and melodrama?

* Do you have tips for describing body language that communicates character states?

* Are there cases where you should not show character growth or change?

* How do you keep it realistic when writing a character who undergoes a great change?
