The Friday Night Writes Podcast

Fuzz and Jonesy discuss the pervasive practice of reboots in Comics.

GoJonesy and Big Fuzzy are back to talk about the storytelling of Mr. Robot. They delve into the overarching use of an unreliable narrator on the show, discuss the story arc of the first season and even get into some talk about music used on the show and the use of quadrant framing and headspace. http://fridaynightwrites.net/ A great video that shows many examples of the framing discussed: https://youtu.be/RW9qQJmpFN0

Welcome back, Friday Nighters! It's been awhile, but Fuzz and Jonesy are back to discuss and deconstruct storytelling. In the first effort from season 02, Jonesy interviews Fuzz about his new, self-published novel; Autumville. They discuss the story elements of Autumville, the characters, the process Fuzz used to write and wrap it up with some discussion of Fuzz's experience with self-publishing. Autumnville is available in paperback and kindle edition here: https://goo.gl/uPMc3U

It's time for Star Wars! Join Fuzz and Jonesy as they talk the story of Star Wars. In the last episode of season 1, they discuss The Hero's Journey, why the second trilogy isn't as bad as everyone thinks and debate whether, as a whole, the six films are the story of Anakin Skywalker or of Luke Skywalker. They further detail an order in which to watch the films that is called the Machete Order. http://www.nomachetejuggling.com/2011/11/11/the-star-wars-saga-suggested-viewing-order/ Enjoy

Jonesy, Fuzz and Skip go on about what makes good characters and how important they are to a story. They cover the theory of the underdog and discuss character development for your own stories. Enjoy!

This week Jonesy, Fuzz, and SeanEd are joined by Skip to talk Comics. They cover the history of the medium and deliberate ad -nauseum on the finer points of why Fuzz likes DC better than Marvel. In a last ditch attempt at covering the actual storytelling of the medium, they discuss Sequential Art as a form of storytelling. Join us as we attempt to alienate the fans of Marvel comics. Happy Thanksgiving.

This week we consult our inner uber-nerd and talk about nothing but Roleplaying Games. Jonesy, Fuzz, SeanEd and the returning Ensomnea (Shawn) break down the worldbuilding aspect of RPGs, talk character, narrative vs. structured time and take several trips down memory lane.

Writing takes motivation. This week we detail some tips and tricks on how to stay motivated, build a writing habit and why that gross advice to "Just do it" isn't always BS. We also welcome in our old friend Sean Ed. to help us through.
