Updates + Video of Fantasy Authors Panel
I have a long update coming probably tomorrow on the final Wheel of Time book A MEMORY OF LIGHT, the next Stormlight Archive book, sequels to other books I've written, and other projects. But for now just a quick post.
The most recent WARBREAKER annotations cover Vivenna reading her father's letters to Lemex and Siri's first show for the eavesdroppers, among other things.
The Writing Excuses podcast I do with Dan Wells and Howard Tayler has the tagline "Fifteen minutes long, because you're in a hurry and we're not that smart." Well, in the most recent episode we make it even snappier, limiting our responses to three minutes per topic. We answer the following questions:
What's the right way to kill a character?
Who are the authors who have influenced you the most, and why?
When do you quit your day job?
Brandon, would killing you and partaking of your flesh grant the killer your powers?
What do you do when you discover you hate a character you're writing?
How do you respond to accusations of having written Mary Sue characters?
What are some basic tools for ensuring that all characters in a story have different voices?
It gives a good taste of the kinds of things we cover on the podcast's ordinary episodes, so check it out.
Finally, if you weren't able to see the Fantasy Authors panel I did at New York Comic Con this past weekend with Jim Butcher, Joe Abercrombie, Peter Brett, Naomi Novik, and Deborah Harkness, Suvudu has posted video of the whole thing here.
