Nice! This actually discusses the writing advice from Kurt Vonnegut that I think Alex Palmer submitted! 😍
The part about characters changing the world around them reminds me of the concept of a Flat Character. The most famous examples of them are Forrest Gump and Goku: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns2GvGSBsok&t=629s&ab_channel=TotallyNotMark
A coincidence that Kurt Vonneguts advice was on here last week. :) Mac. That looks interesting! Will watch!
