Every H/h needs a good wingman — a person who…

has your back (or wishes to stab you in the back),

helps you succeed (or hopes to see you fail so they can trample you once you’re down),

points out your flaws to help you improve (or illustrate your ineptness),

makes you look good (or ensures you look ridiculous).

For good or ill, all stories NEED secondary characters.

But how do we create these important, though not headlining, cast members?

In this episode of the LLS Society Papers*, we’re talking about how we created and used a few of the many secondary characters we have written into stories.

Live Stream will begin at 3 PM EST or 4 PM Atlantic. 🙂

Welcome to the first Longbourn Literary Society (LLS) Society Papers Broadcast post on my blog. (Yes, that is a mouthful, is it not? LOL)

Zoe Burton, Rose Fairbanks, and I have been doing these video chats as Facebook live videos for a year and have just recently moved from Facebook to YouTube so that the videos can be accessed more broadly.

Now, I realize I mentioned that I would share these videos on Sundays here on the blog, but I just had a “brilliant idea” which means this is either going to work or be a dismal failure. LOL

I think that I can share the link to the video early and then if you want to join us live, you can just use it to hop over to YouTube where you can comment, or you can just watch us here. We’ll see. Fingers crossed. And please accept my apologies if it does not work. I will get it sorted out afterward if necessary.

This week, we are discussing how real-life experiences have inspired scenes on the page and reading from some of those scenes as well.

[The broadcast will start at 3 PM EST or 4 PM if you’re in the Atlantic time zone like I am. 😉 ]
