Podcast 27 Perfection is Simplicity 2/3

Listen to PODCAST


I’m talking with Emil Minchev author of Towers of Stone and Bone and Unlimited Access (available only in Bulgarian…so far!) about the difference between writing fiction set in the real versus fantastic worlds.


We talk about:


Steven King’s Story about Robinson Crusoe


“Perfection is simplicity”—Zen Master Minchev


Lois McMaster Bujold and her perfect worlds, which she talks about in Sidelines


Iceberg writing


Isaac Azimov and explaining how things work without exposition (make it malfunction).


Bujold’s Komarr


“The perfect story set in a fictional world is one in which you feel like the author is from that world.”


Fitzgerald and stripped prose


Omit needless words
