Grammar, Point of View and Language

Send us a text

Drake & Marie discuss how to use prose to connect with the reader, not just descriptively using show instead of tell, but also making things deeply personal to the narrator, which help to viscerally connect the reader to the narrator's plight. They also discuss expressions in world building, specifically those related to making up swear words in fantasy worlds.

Everything affects Everything

Send us a text

Drake and Marie embark on a discussion of magical items. In this episode they discuss generic magical items versus artifact items and how these affect storytelling, symbology of items, both mundane and magical and the impact of that symbology on your world. 
They discuss the importance of editing, how items can organically grow with your story and how you look clever as a writer and finally they tie it back to themes, because without a theme, you just don't have a story!
