Writing Excuses 7.26: Q&A at UVU part 2
from Writing Excuses · host Mary Robinette Kowal, DongWon Song, Erin Roberts, Dan Wells, and Howard Tayler
Recorded live at Utah Valley University, here's another Q&A episode from the LTUE Symposium! The questions: What was Brandon's plan with Mistborn and the themes regarding establishment? Why does Kelsier shrug so much? (This leads into a fun discussion of "tells.") How do you know when to stop a chapter? What about expanding it? How do you make your prose more transparent? How do you decide who and what to cut? What do you do to filter out the extraneous ideas that come while you're writing? What can collaborators do in order to create a single "voice" for the book? What's the best way to tackle a long back-story? Want answers? You'll just have to listen...Our Sponsors:* Check out MasterClass and use my code masterclass.com/EXCUSES for a great deal: https://MasterClass.com* Check out Talkiatry and use my code Talkiatry.com/WX for a great deal: https://www.talkiatry.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/writing-excuses2130/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
