A conversation with Sean Carney about the challenges that can arise when beginning a story.

You can find Sean on twitter @carneyfrom55, or check out his incredible new horror novella The Pyramid for a hauntingly good time, or listen to him on the How Good’s Footy and Scaredy Boys podcasts.

You can also contact me at [email protected] or find me on twitter @middaypyjamas

And if you'd like to throw a few dollars, euros, rands, pounds, francs, or yen at me and allow me to keep writing and releasing Short Tales, and hopefully put out a few bigger projects down the line as well, you can do so by visiting my ko-fi page.

Lastly, here is the The Brandon Sanderson lecture I reference in this episode.
