In this episode of Write Pack Radio, the Write Pack explores why don’t we write about characters take bathroom breaks and other mundane things?

Why don’t we show characters doing the mundane things, like putting in contacts, going to the bathroom, fill the car with gas, etc?

Are such things significant to the plot?

What are some examples of when things like this are included?

Does culture determine what should be included?

“Don’t write what the reader will skip.”—Elmore Leonard
