episode 34: Writing Excuses 4.34: Q&A at Dragons & Fairy Tales


The last of our three recorded-live episodes is also the last episode of Writing Excuses Season 4. We took questions from the audience, and answered them with ABSOLUTE APLOMB. Questions asked include: How did we, as beginning writers, manage to write while holding down day-jobs and/or going to school? What is the process for getting published? How do you portray the various dynamics of an ensemble cast? How do you keep tension up when death isn't a problem for your characters? How do you make the transition from writing fan-fiction to writing original fiction? How important is it for an author to stay in touch with the fans online and at events? What do you do when your cast of characters has grown too large for you to manage it? What was the biggest stumbling-block for our creativity, and how did we overcome it? You want the answers? Have a listen! Writing Prompt: You walk out of a bookstore into torrential rain, and Howard attacks you with the POWER OF THUNDER.
