This week, it’s a full-blown episode all about writing; specifically, all about world building. What is world building? Simple: it’s a writer taking time to craft believable settings for their stories, even if their stories are set in places that don’t even exist. But it’s more than just creating a world — it’s the rules of that world and how everything affects the characters. Along the way, we talk about what ails literary fiction, Star Trek, Barry Eisler’s mistakes, and plenty of talk about the power of Dungeons and Dragons. It only took seven episodes to get two writers to actually spend an hour talking about writing! Thanks for listening.
