hey guys! welcome back to another craft video, this time covering a method I've developed to describe my thought process when it comes to crafting character-driven stories.
it's a really simple and straight forward little writing hack, but I hope this and the examples help if you've been struggling with making your characters feel like they are driving the plot!
thank you for watching :)
