Mary Robinette Kowal graciously loaned us an outline she was working on in 2003. For this podcast, Mary reads from her outline, Brandon interrupts her, and we dissect. This is a brutal process. Know, fair listener, that we love Mary a lot.

And LOVE HURTS.

In completely unrelated news, Writing Excuses Season Six has been nominated for a Hugo Award for "Best Related Work." You may feel free to extend congratulations and good wishes in the comments below.

Liner Notes: Want to follow along in Mary's outline? Here it is!
