What this episode covers
Shannon Hale joined us at LTUE 2016 to field questions about the Idea elemental genre. Here are the questions: * How do you keep an elemental idea story from feeling like you're just waiting for the idea to "unlock." * How do you tie your character motivations to the idea? * How do you know when you've satisfactorily explored the idea? * Are there elemental idea stories that you just need to give up on? * Is there such a thing as "idea clutter?"
