What makes your characters tick? Heroes, villains, or just people standing on street corners, minding their own business, everyone has motivations that drives them. This week, hosts/authors Steve Diamond and Larry Correia dive deep into the intricacies of crafting compelling character motivations that drive a story and discuss the key ingredients that breathe life into fictional personas. (Spoiler alert: Larry is working on Graveyard of Demons and discusses several things about the process of writing that book in particular.)
