Drake and Marie re-visit starting your story and introducing your characters. They talk about how much world building is too much, how much is required and how important it is not to slow down the action with world building.
Then they turn the eternal bugbear: Do not use flashbacks in opening chapters! Kill them with fire!
Includes examples from Magic falls from the Sky

We all write two books, the one in our heads and the one on paper. And sometimes, what's in the head never makes it to paper. Join Drake and Marie in recognizing when this happens and how to fix it!

Introducing a character is possibly the hardest part about writing. Characters are what people latch onto and why they keep reading the story. But how do you get readers to love the character? How do you communicate character backstory to the reader? How much information does the reader need? Join Drake and Marie as they discuss all these points and more!
