L is for Liminal

from Just Another Word Podcast Hosted by Timothy Vigil

In this episode, we stand in the doorway, caught between where we’ve been and where we are going. In this episode, we discuss: The Uncanny "Vibe": How storytellers can use physical settings like vacant offices or night-time playgrounds to signal that the rules of reality are thinning. The Narrative "Middle": Why the Second Act of a story is essentially a liminal state, and how to use "Threshold Guardians" to heighten the tension of a character's internal change. Are you rushing your characters through the doorway, or are you letting them linger in the "in-between" where the real transformation happens?
