In this episode, we turn the page on the calendar and turn a corner in our craft. After a month of sharpening our sensory tools, we begin a brand-new series: Character Archetypes.

In this episode, we discuss:

    Subscribe for more episodes as we spend this month breaking down the "stamps" of the human experience!
