To Trope or Not to Trope

Libra season is almost upon us, so we’ve got an episode for you all about that indecisive Libra energy and how it may or may not manifest in fictional characters. No matter how it’s branded—thoughtfulness, reluctance, introspection—indecision can be a key trait in character-driven stories. It can also make readers want to throw a book across a room, though, so choose your brand of indecision carefully.

Disclaimer: We are in no way making a comment on actual Libras, nor are we talking about canonically Libra characters—we’re simply using Libra traits as a frame to talk about writing fictional characters.
