Join the DRS Crew as they give advice they don't follow as they prepare for writing conferences, publishing books, and, Garaaga forbid, writing them.

Yay. You finished your novel. Now what?
Paul, Terry, and Veronica discuss where to find talent for the things you can't do and how to work with them.

Got a boring plot? We got a solution for you.

Chat, however, does not.

Terry lays out his process and Paul takes him to task for claiming he's having productivity issues. Chat piles on.

DRS Episode 654

Terry asks Paul and V the question: is there such a thing as a bad influence when it comes to movies, books, and other media? Do they have a negative impact on your narratives?

Alternate realities, dimensional shifts, and portals that lead anywhere. Author James Peet joins the DRS Crew to discuss creating alternate worlds as well as some basic rules.

Gamemaster and RPG designer James Carpio joins the DRS crew to talk RPGs, quick stories, and adventure.

Chat is a constant problem.

Terry asks about character motivation. Paul provides Voltaire's Candide as an example.

All hell breaks loose with chat.

Veronica makes the mistake of asking Paul and Terry to help brainstorm a new space western. She should have known better.

As usual, chat is more a hindrance than help.
