wow! this now ranks as one of my fav WE episodes! I haven't read any erotica but will have to check out Chuck's tinglers. so much to like in this episode about making art, the value of "astonishing failure," art doesn't stop when the book ends... i also love his description of a "slippery slope" world where trees might marry as being utopian -- not dystopian. And right there, it gave me an idea for why some of the (otherwise) human beings on my alien planet have extra-sensory abilities. thanks!!

With Brandon gone I imagine some the "core" audience will also be going. It's been terrible with his absence and the direction this show has gone is abysmal at best. The only decent host is Dan wells and unfortunately he is not as prominent as he should be. This show has turned from tips for writing, to some jaw wagging useless yammering on things that have nothing to do with the art of writing. If you even come away with a bullet list of coherent topics, well I guess you must be their small but desired audience.

This newer panel is now just feeding its self-gratification and fetishes. It's become more ideology than craft. Not nearly as helpful as the earlier seasons.

I'm surprised they didn't mention House of Leaves which which is renowned for being the ultimate novel of footnotes within footnotes.

I'm excited to have found this Podcast! I'm a big fan of MRK, so that's an added unexpected bonus! I think I write really well once I have an idea or subject. Finding the ideas is the hard part for me. If I force it and don't let them come to me in their own, it flops every time. I can't think too hard or brainstorm over it. To me, ideas are like skittish little creatures that are more apt to fly away the more I try to catch them. But once I do have a hold on them, I can tame them and groom them into attractive and interesting pets that many can enjoy. Anyhow, unless I figure out another way, spontaneous ideas rule my writing. I'd probably never be able to write with a deadline looming! Thanks for the fun and interesting insights! I look forward to going back thru your previous seasons! My choice of the week: The Reincarnation Papers by Dr. Eric Maikranz. Bloody friggin' awesome fiction! And currently included on Audible, although I had spent a credit in it before that.

Mary Robinette. unable to mention a conservative without highlighting that she does infact disagree with their nasty conservative views.

Glad Rothfuss was allowed to talk more this time around. Nice episode, sad Brandon wasn't there

I stopped listening after the whole "sexist analogy" thing started. I understood exactly what he meant about meaningful vs shiny, as a woman I have also had both types of relationships. I just feel like it's getting to the point where free flowing conversation isn't possible any more.
