Prudent
In this episode we explore the quiet, steady power of the planner and the thinker.
In this episode, we discuss:
-
The Careful Giant: Using the model of Perrin Aybara from The Wheel of Time to show how prudence is born from responsibility, not fear.
-
The Satisfying Obstacle: Why a "brutally prudent" antagonist who leaves no loose threads creates a more earned victory for the hero than a villain who is easy to overcome.
In your current project, is your hero surviving on lucky breaks, or have you pitted them against a prudent antagonist who has already planned for their escape?
