DEEP CUTS Episode 87: How Much Backstory Do Authors Need?
Backstory—the story stuff happens before the stuff that happens in the story. How much do authors need to make a great tale? Do you need a fully fleshed-out world before you write the first sentence, or can you wing it? Scott Sigler and ARealGirl Herself discuss.
