<p>This episode features co-hosts VE Griffith and Miss Catherine MH discussing their differing approaches to editing fictional characters. They explain that characters are essential to a story, acting as the vehicle through which readers experience the narrative. VE, a plotter, emphasizes the importance of planning aspects like physical traits, emotional makeup, dialogue, attitudes, and growth arcs, often reviewing these in separate passes. Catherine, a pantser, describes her process as more intuitive, where characters &quot;visit&quot; her and their physical appearance and speech patterns are naturally revealed, with her editing focusing on ensuring consistency in descriptions and dialogue, as well as the characters&#39; interactions with others and their underlying goals. Both hosts acknowledge the value of differing methods and the reader&#39;s connection to well-developed characters.</p><p><br></p><p>The Revision Wizards are at https://www.revisionwizards.com</p><p>V.E.
