With spooky season upon us, we’re here with an episode all about that Mysterious Scorpio Energy. From the Phantom of the Opera to April Ludgate, from faerie princes to not-so-surprising plot twists, this episode covers everything you ever needed to know about writing a mysterious character.

…which I suppose is not very mysterious of us, but we’re not here to gatekeep good writing advice. Enjoy!
