Surely you know that your characters need flaws, but do you know why? And do you know how your protagonist's flaws and strengths need to be relevant to your specific story? Listen to this episode to learn how to write full, realistic and interesting characters without ever having to refer to a character flaw list. Be prepared to hear me complain about the word S-T-R-E-N-G-T-H.

As always, there's a sparkling new writing prompt at the end, but if you'd like more writing prompts about character flaws, check out the links at https://whatifyouwrote.com
