In which the Bards address two questions from Twitter:

* how do you create deep, compelling characters?

* how do you get to write Star Wars or other intellectual properties?

We discuss ways to pin down your protagonist and secondary characters, tricks for figuring out backstories, weaving character in with worldbuilding, tropes, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, what brainstorming really is, how you get an invite to write Star Wars, skills you need to write any IP projects, and how Kevin and Delilah came to the world of IP.

And, as always, we cover Things That Will Blow Your Mind.

Got a question on writing, publishing, books, comics, or the best kind of cocktail or gluten free goodies to power your creativity? Ask us on Twitter with hashtag #askthebards!
