Episode description

In this Petty Peeves episode, I’m calling out the overuse of blinking in stories—why it often feels like a wasted action and how it can drain energy from a scene. But it’s not all bad! I’ll also share ways to make blinking meaningful and show how it can actually serve your storytelling when used intentionally. Tune in for a rant with a side of redemption for this overlooked gesture.
