Writing Excuses
« on: April 07, 2008, 05:45:08 PM »
At writingexcuses.com there is a 15 minute weekly podcast about writing. It's interesting, funny, and quick and its about the type of fiction that many people who frequent this board are undoubtedly writing.

I highly recommend checking it out, even if this weeks topic doesn't interest you because they are covering sub-genres of science fiction, check out other weeks because they talk about more broad topics generally. 

For those of you into the Wheel of Time, Brandon Sanderson, one of the people who host the podcast, is the writer finishing a Memory of Light. Howard Tayler, one of the others, writes the Schlock Mercenary comic strip.

"Fifteen minutes long, because you’re in a hurry and we’re not that smart."

Love that line. :D Brandon is a great guy, and kilks is right, these podcasts are fun and informative.

Thanks a lot for pointing that out, I read this thread here yessterday and since then listened to all episodes. Very fun & educating at the same time.
I only read the British editions of Dresden Files, so I am half a year behind concerning the plot.
I also only read them when I travel.

BTW,
you can usually see these three at this Symposium,

held every year in Provo, usually in february, It has helped my writing immensely.
