Writing Excuses 9.33: Microcasting

What this episode covers

Microcasting! It's our Q&A format, in which each answer is like its own, tiny little podcast, only without its own unique URL, intro, writing prompt, or any of the other trappings that would actually make it different from a Q&A session. Right. So, it's basically just a Q&A. Listen to the podcast for the answers... Here are the questions: * Are there biases against non-English writers submitting manuscripts in English? * What is the most difficult thing Howard experienced when first creating Schlock Mercenary? * Are you ever too old to try to get published? * What are some pointers for keeping a milieu story focused on the setting? * No, you can't have a sample of our DNA. None of you. * If you were to rewrite your early work, what would you change? * How do you improve your proofreading and copy editing? * How much time do you spend writing each day? Does it matter WHAT you write during that time? * Do you add foreshadowing in the editing stage, or are you just that good? * How do you improve your craft as a writer? * I don't have time to ask a question, I'm washing my dog. * Do you have any writing exercises that you do regularly?
