March 2020
The Ides of March are nearly upon us, be ware if your name is Julius Caesar and you’re in a Shakespeare play! We’re not saying your best friend Brutus is gonna betray you, but we will say that maybe you should have gotten him something more personal than a gift card for his birthday.Fortunately, this newsletter comes bearing a popular gift: sassy articles! This month, we’re heavy on the technical advice with a wordcraft critique, a discussion of overpowered characters, and an in-depth look at character arcs. If you’ve got a hunger for social justice instead, we’ve also got you covered with a rebuttal to that tired old canard, “but men are objectified too.”
