These include: * What do people get wrong when they write military science-fiction? * How do you develop action sequences? * What makes a good foil character? * How do you schedule your time as a writer? * How do you write good, true-to-character dialog for each of your characters? Our podcasters for this episode were Brandon Sanderson , Dan Wells , L.E. Modessit Jr. , and Robison Wells . Audiobook Pick-of-the-Week: Haze by L.E.
