Recently, I was invited to be a guest on the popular podcast The Story Blender, hosted by best-selling novelist Steven James. Steven is also an internationally known speaker on the craft of fiction writing.
Steven and I had a very wide-ranging and animated discussion on the Snowflake Method and fiction writing. If you enjoy listening to podcasts, you can listen to my episode on The Story Blender here.
You may have already read Steven’s book Story Trumps Structure, a well-known book on the craft of fiction writing.
Back in May, Steven’s publicity people invited me to read his latest book Synapse for endorsement. I read it and really enjoyed the novel. Synapse is a futuristic book about AI and the question of just how much like a human a robot might someday become. It reads fast. As I recall, the final sentence of my endorsement was, “Start sweating now.”
Then in August, I met Steven at a writing conference. We had a great time talking about a thousand different things, mostly on writing, but also on pretty much everything else.
That’s when Steven invited me to be a guest on his podcast. We did the recording in early October, and I had a fantastic time. I hope you’ll find it fun and useful in your writing journey. And I encourage you to subscribe to Steven’s podcast, The Story Blender. You can subscribe to The Story Blender here. Steven’s past guests have included James Rollins and George R.R. Martin.
Now I have a new podcast to binge!
