N is for Nebulous
from Just Another Word Podcast · host Timothy Vigil
In this episode, we step into the mist to find the shapes that refuse to be defined. In this episode, we discuss: The Precision of Vagueness: Why being intentionally nebulous can turn a biological problem into a psychological terror, and how leaving a monster's "edges blurry" keeps the reader in a state of unease. The Clouded Mind: Using nebulous goals and moral grey areas to create layered characters and atmospheric tension that forces your reader to slow down and squint at the truth. Is your character’s goal a solid, sharp objective, or is it still a shifting cloud waiting to condense into a purpose? Subscribe for more episodes and to join me in this journey through the alphabet!
