LDK Ep. 16 with Becky Minor

As the founder of the first--and only, to the best of our knowledge--conference for writers of faith with a sci-fi and fantasy bent, one may think Rebecca "Becky" Minor might be a bit too busy to sit down with us lowly podcasters. However, Becky is a wonderful person to chat with, and we're delighted that she took time out of her schedule to have a lively discussion with us this week! Writing as Rebecca P. Minor, Becky authors the Windrider Saga (the only one out right now is Divine Summons), which I am definitely going to have to put on my TBR pile...err, mountain...err, okay, well it's a library at this stage. The description of her protagonist alone is enough to make someone say, "Uh, yeah, I need to read that!" Episode 16 features more discussion on her writing, as well as Realm Makers, the world's most AWESOME writing conference for nerds and geeks of faith!  Becky's writing process, since she's a full-on pantser. We have a lengthy discussion about how Scrivener can be used by the pantser...even though Becky isn't an adopter. Becky's odd item that she's Googled is quite unusual. We discuss Becky's favorite book (you probably won't be surprised) and the version she has on her bookshelves. Costco is one of our famous bunny-trails...and you'll find the diversion quite hilarious. (One word: Pickles.) Realm Makers! What is it, how did it get started, and what's coming up for it in 2016! (Awesome writer's conference for us geeks--you really should come!) And much, much more! https://wordpress.com/post/lasersdragonsandkeyboards.wordpress.com/564 Links to Things and People we discussed: Rebecca "Becky" P. Minor Divine Summons J.R.R.
