Nobody Knows What's Going On

Episode 3: Booty-Call Boots, Chicken Jailbreaks, and the Donner Party

Listen Later

Welcome back to our Not-a-Podcast, where Bree & Donna chat about the writing & self-publishing life and answer questions that make us spin wildly off-topic. (Previous episodes!)

This week’s episode contains chatter about, but not limited to:

  • Developing characters across a long series.
  • Why we ended our long-running (still successful) series.
  • Writing sex scenes. Donna makes a really dirty metaphor about a vase & we discuss rule #1: always deal with the boots first. Also, chicken jailbreaks.
  • How we split up characters and the unique challenges of co-writing romances with more than two protagonists.
  • Character development as a conscious vs unconscious process. (Case studies: Grace & Nessa!)

    • Reader/listener questions answered:

    • Are any of your characters based on anyone?
    • Does a character change throughout the story?
    • What type of research have you had to do?
    • Is Eden the only city left?
    • Where IS Eden anyway?
    • When does Gideon get a book?
