L is for Liminal

In this episode, we stand in the doorway, caught between where we’ve been and where we are going. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Uncanny "Vibe": How storytellers can use physical settings like vacant offices or night-time playgrounds to signal that the rules of reality are thinning.

• The Narrative "Middle": Why the Second Act of a story is essentially a liminal state, and how to use "Threshold Guardians" to heighten the tension of a character's internal change.

Are you rushing your characters through the doorway, or are you letting them linger in the "in-between" where the real transformation happens?
