What this episode covers
E.J. "Eric" Patten joins us for a discussion of pre-writing. His first book, Return to Exile , came out in 2011, and The Legend Thief released in March of 2013. What is pre-writing? Eric walks us through his process for developing a story, beginning with the high-concept world-building inspired by the phrase "Cthulhu for kids." He talks about the importance of getting the characters right, and how this process precedes plot development. Each of us handles this a little differently, and we talk about how that goes.
