<p>This week on Write Where it Hurts is dedicated to character arcs, from how to write side characters (and know when to cut them) to managing arcs and honoring each character’s unique voice. Eva brings us back to <em>Lord of the Rings</em> and Katryn calls out a very specific Jaws scene that inspires her character interactions.</p><p><strong>Sources:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>Read </strong><a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/646858/atmosphere-a-gma-book-club-pick-by-taylor-jenkins-reid/"><strong>Atmosphere</strong></a><strong>!</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Watch </strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_%27Burbs_(TV_series)"><strong>The ‘Burbs!</strong></a></p></li><li><p><strong>Watch Alysa Liu’s </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg0h9iZ1ZAg"><strong>joyful gold medal skate</strong></a><strong>!</strong><br><strong>Pre-order </strong><a href="https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250910578/imgonnagetyouback/"><strong>I’M GONNA GET YOU BACK</strong></a><strong>!</strong></p></li></ul>
