The latest edition of the Steve Ogden Braincast is up online. In this episode, I continue talking about creating and writing characters, focusing on characters who evolved from a narrative need, specifically Moon Town TV news commentators Triple Bee and Savannah Bonn. Also, I chat briefly with my son Thomas about his thoughts on character as he wraps up pre-production on his own forthcoming webcomic Fetch the Bee. Music – Can’t Fool Me and The Trees Ask, by Steve Ogden; theme to Cosmic Osmo by Tim Larkin.

Life is a tale told by an idiot. Often, so is the news.

Security Agent Captain Cassandra Quinn is on assignment to the mining outpost Luna Seven amid rumors of pirates near the outpost.

On her approach to the complex, she saw something moving around on the surface of the moon that shouldn’t have been. In attempting to get verification, she’s gotten off on the wrong foot with the facility’s crankily busy administrator, Dabney Flagg, and she’s finding her navigation computer Agnes to be less than helpful. If that’s not an interesting start to her day, a mysterious ship blasted her out of the sky. Her story starts HERE.

Meanwhile, Simon Tripline is waking up and getting ready for his day… his story starts HERE.

Feels like a Monday, doesn’t it?
