How to Make a First Impression Without Ruining Everything

This week on Alchemy… socks vanish into another dimension, jean jackets are judged, and Tim presents 9 rules for meeting people that sound suspiciously like a list of personal grievances. LeeAnna insists you smile, Tim insists you don’t talk loudly on your cellphone, and together they explore what really happens when two human animals meet for the first time—and how writers can use that awkward magic to make their stories sparkle. Spoiler alerts: LeeAnna traps someone in a corner, someone forgets almost everyone’s name, and who’d like to create a good human just to kill them off later. It’s all very normal. Come for the existential terror of networking, stay for the theory about laundry portals. Alchemy: where first impressions are everything—and sometimes, disaster is the intention.
