Episode 18.26: Broadening Your Writing Wheelhouse: Video Game Dialogue, RPG Adventures, & More
Let’s talk about the things you can write that are not typically what we talk about—formats that aren't novels and short stories. In this episode, we’re thinking about scripts, RPG adventures, video game dialogue, etc. What other forms are out there, and how can you apply the skills you already have to a new form?
[“Dark One: Forgotten” Deep Dive Ep. 3]
Homework:
Take something that you’re working on, and identify two other formats that might work well for it (audio, video game, you name it). Think about how you would pitch—and tell— the story differently for each format.
Thing of the Week:
Severance (2022 TV Series)
