New Worldbuilding Lecture + Updates

The fourth installment of the 2016 Sanderson Lectures, “World Building,” is now live! If you missed last week’s episode, “The Illusionist Writer,” you can catch up on all the videos here. Enjoy!



In this week’s new Writing Excuses episode, Impostor Syndrome, with Alyssa Wong, the Campbell Award nominee and Nebula Award winner joins us. Impostor Syndrome is the frame of mind that many successful writers suffer from, in which they worry that they’re not really good enough at writing to be enjoying their success. Worse, this mindset can prevent us from continuing to create. Many of us suffer from this, and we have some strategies to cope with it.


Update on the Mistborn: House War board game Kickstarter campaign: It’s now at 632% funded, and is working on the final listed stretch goal. Though I hear they have something up their sleeve for another stretch goal after that.

Ann Swaim I need to watch these! I talk so much, in day to day conversations, I never thought I would struggle to find the words to describe something. But here I am, severely lacking the ability to describe the picture playing in my head.

Thanks!
Ann

Ej New classes... AWESOME!

I know I've pestered you a ton on twitter about these class updates the last few years, but they really are one of my only sources for learning writing (with writing excuses and some other books as well).

I work a ton and have kids, so having a resources I can sit down with on my own time that isnt several hundred or a thousand dollars is the best thing.

Finding the writeaboutdragons site 2 years back got me back into writing after years of ignoring it. And thanks to you I am a 3 honorable mentions into Writers of the Future.

So.. thanks again.
