52 min - Joss Whedon: Separating Creator From Creation
Send us Fan Mail
One of my writerly idols, Joss Whedon, has undergone a scandal this past week that I don't think he's ever going to rebound from. At least, not in the eyes of those - like me - who admired his work. In today's podcast episode, I'm talking about how we, as authors, can take a good hard look at the scandal that's broken with Joss Whedon and ask ourselves some hard questions. For example, can (or should) we separate creator from creation? And if so what impact does that have for us?Be sure to check out the show notes by going to authorrevolution.org/68.Support the show
