Oooo!
I'd definitely tune in for one that featured someone from the Donald Maass Literary Agency... Mr. Maass has some *damn* fine books on writing technique out there (I own two, and have made a point to have them in my store where I recommend and sell them regularly). To say nothing of the other wonderful subjects they could discuss, I'd simply love to hear a discussion of "Writing The Breakout Novel" in terms of Jim Butcher's works in specific...
I believe Jim wrote Storm Front *before* having an agent, but despite that, I've always thought the Dresden Files are textbook examples of the advice Donald Maass gives to new authors in his book and workbook. I'd also LOVE to hear Jim weigh in on how Maassively his writing has been influenced by his experiences with the agency.
Huh, I just sent my first 5 pages along with an author query towards the Maas agency. I hope they're willing to represent me.
Okay, well here's what I'd like to see on the next episode of the Butcher Block.
* A Butcher Block Review of Proven Guilty and thoughts regarding the book.
* Character Spotlight: Harry Dresden. A discussion of the characteristics of Harry and why we love him.
* RPG Preview: A moment explaining some fact about the RPG like how magic is handled or something similiar.
* Some talk about Jim's fantasy novelsBut yes, I'd love to see a show on Proven Guilty.
Can you give us a hint what the next episode might contain?
