Today, we welcome Christopher Soucy to the table. Alongside being a prolific writer, his is the co-host of The Most Haunted City On Earth, available at the finest of podcatchers. Our freewheeling conversation covers everything the perils and pitfalls of marketing your own material to how comedies can age so terribly. Then we take a trip into the forest where a brand new story awaits us.
The sign on the door says “newly refurbished” but what does that really mean? Before we open the doors, this episode finds us pausing to reflect on where we’ve been and where we are going.
Tonight, we welcome author Ryan Dalton. His new book, This Last Adventure, is available now from the finest of book sellers. Our topic is “Plants or Pants”, is it better to have your story planned out before you start writing or is it better to just sit down and let the story go wherever it takes you? We’ll discuss what we’ve learned doing it both ways.
The topic of the day is NaNoWriMo, the writing endurance test where writers are tasked with writing a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. All three of us competed in this Mount Everest of writing challenges with varying levels of success. But what does success even mean in this case? We’ll talk ideas, strategies and then take some time to create a story from scratch.
