Our goal is to become better writers, and to share some of our insights along the way. Each episode, we'll discuss all the ingredients that go into writing a great story from setting and characters to, of course, the apocalypse! There's really not one "right" way to become a great writer, but hopefully this podcast will be a way for us (and maybe for you too!) to get a little better practicing and thinking about writing, and generally just having a good time together. So if you're someone who really likes creative writing, enjoys reading late into the night, or wants to hear our thoughts on the best dragon (spoiler alert: every dragon is the best), then join us on our writing quest!
