Writing Excuses Episode 22: Doing The Unpopular

As a writer it's sometimes difficult to decide between doing things the readers want, and things that are right for the story.

This podcast contains spoilers for The Lord of the Rings, Return of the Jedi, and Serenity (the statute of limitations should have passed on all of these) as well as for the current week of Schlock Mercenary.
