Writing Excuses 8.23: Microcasting

What this episode covers

Microcasting! It's what we've taken to calling a Q&A. Eric Patten joins us for this one. Here are the questions: * What's your first step in the rewriting process? * How do you write Artificial Intelligences as characters? * Tactful promotion: how do you get nominated for a Hugo or Nebula? * How do you decide whether or not to take an offer from a publisher? * Do you use a writing notebook? How, and for what? * What methods do you use to test the "coolness" and/or viability of a story idea? * What genre or style do you read that is outside of the one(s) in which you write?
