In this episode, the two Matts take an almost nine-month break for some reason, brag about finished writing projects, gush/face-palm about super-cheesy disaster movies, and give out tips for starting, continuing, and finishing writing projects. What makes a good hook? How can writers motivate themselves to keep going? How can you naturally build to a climactic finale? How did Matt David not collapse with exhaustion getting here in the States from Japan in a rowboat? We discuss it all, as formally and professionally as you would expect, and talk about Star Wars, Captain America: Civil War, the Core with Hilary Swank for some reason, and more of Matt Donald's old works in more shameless self-plugs.
