It’s Sagittarius season, and the sass is strong with this episode. Well, sort of. Join us as we discuss the differences between sass, snark, sarcasm, and wit, and talk about how to write witty characters (and what sorts of characters really shouldn’t have a quick wit). From tips and tricks for how to learn comedic timing and broaden your bank of random references, to such profound advice as “pirates are always the answer,” this episode is here for all your witty character writing needs. Disclaimer: We are in no way making a comment on actual Sagittariuses, nor are we talking about canonically Sagittarius characters—we’re simply using Sagittarius traits as a frame to talk about writing fictional characters.
