The Writ Wit

Episode 7 - World Building (Not Just For Fantasy!)


Listen Later

Originally recorded: April 2017

In this episode, the two Matts open with a dumb game show instead of a theme song, perform flawless edits of mistakes during recording, have difficulty naming segments of their own show, and info-dump their thoughts about world-building. What defines "world-building" for a story? How much overwhelms or bores the reader? What ways can you make it easier for you as a writer to world-build? What weapon will listeners use when storming the houses of the hosts when they bash beloved stories or make blatant errors when talking about them? We discuss it all, with our trademark super-annoying voices and stutters, and talk about Tolkien's the Silmarillion, Harry Potter, Kong: Skull Island, and the best and most beloved franchise in human history, LEGO's BIONICLE. Deny it all you want, you know we're right.
