Writing Excuses Season Two Episode 11: Ah... [aka Questions for Dave]
From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2008/12/21/writing-excuses-season-2-episode-11-talking-publishing-and-writing-with-dave-wolverton/
Key points: Write what you love. Name your characters to resonate with the genre. Watch for the upcoming flood of readers. Start with setting, because characters grow out of it, then let your plot grow out of your characters.
( and the little stuff . . . )
[Brandon] All right. Your writing prompt is Juan and Watanabe are in medieval England...
[Dan] Juan and Gregorio Watanabe...
[Brandon] Juan and Gregorio Watanabe are in medieval England. The difficulty is they actually belong there. Why do they belong there? What is their story?
[Dan] Excellent.
[Howard] On your mark, get set, go.
