About this episode
What are the best practices for collaboration? How do you write in an established intellectual property (IP)? How do you write a new story in an established world? We dive into working with an individual or a group. We hear stories from our hosts about how they have navigated creative endeavors with different types of collaboration.
Homework:
Grab something on your TBR (to be read) pile and pick a random paragraph from it. Use that as the opening for a short story.
Also prepare for our upcoming Deep Dive (starting in two episodes), by reading through Howard Tayler's Schlock Mercenary.
Thing of the Week:
The Original by Brandon Sanderson and Mary Robinette Kowal
