Scott (and Tyler— thanks, Tyler!), this was a great class. Thank you so much for providing us with extra classes to make sure the topic was thoroughly covered. I found your explanations in this class to be particularly helpful. Especially the part about understanding where the character was on their emotional arc. You really nailed that part.
I do want to make sure I understand the How part as well. As I understand it, we need to approach the creation and presentation of these new characters with an understanding of how they will interact with the theme for the story. Is that right? For example, you’ve mentioned how Wytches was about “Evil that was left behind and waits for you to return to it.” So the HOW for that story is concerned with how the life of the main character (sorry, I forgot his name) was changed when he went back to find that evil waiting. Am I understanding it correctly?
Thank you, Scott and Tyler!

Thank you for doing this extra class. This was very helpful.
I appreciate the insights. Loved God Country, Court of Owls, and haven't read Saga yet but it's on my list.
