EPISODE DESCRIPTION:      

In story, it's essential that characters come across as credible and believable. A story must ring true in order for the audience to care and stay invested in the main character's journey. 

As discussed in episode 13, one way storytellers inadvertently violate the credibility of their story is when they approach the work with a prior philosophical commitment that precludes them from honestly engaging the true depths of their characters. 

This week, we explore how writers violate the credibility of their story when they approach the work with a prior philosophical agenda or message, which ultimately turns the characters into tools to be used.
