We talk about boobs in the cold open. Not sure why or how we got on the subject, but sometimes these things can't be helped. Once we get into the episode, though, we begin a long discussion on how to bullshit your way through a story. More specifically, how to handle science (and magical) elements in your story. Do you play it safe and give sparse details on, say, space travel? Or do you go into great detail and describe how the ship is able to reach warp speed?

Caleb ends the episode by revealing his clone on air. Fun is had by all.

Caleb opens up the episode by telling us how he almost accidentally killed himself in the gym. Then we get into the heart of the matter with a great conversation about fantasy stories.

We discuss why we don't read a lot of fantasy, what would make us read more fantasy, and what elements we want or don't want in our fantasy stories. We also talk a bit about fantasy movies, tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons, RPG video games, and Magic the Gathering.

We start the episode by talking about our awful writing output and cool narrative structures. Then we get into an open discussion on why we think people are so drawn to heroes and stories about overcoming obstacles. 

We also discuss the adventure story and why we think people like reading about epic adventures that could never really happen but wish would.

Well, we're closing in on the end of the year, so we figured it would be a good idea to discuss our writing successes and failures for the awful year of 2020. We spend most of our time talking about our 2021 writing goals and the different things we'd liked to do, such as traveling and hopefully going back to conventions.

We start off talking about manscaping and other nonsense, but things really pick up when we get into a long talk about things that will drastically improve your writing in a short period of time. Some of the things we talk about are why metaphors are better than similes, how to structure your paragraphs for optimal pacing, and the importance of using active voice instead of passive voice.
