We're back for 2013 and Season 8, so let's start it off by answering all your questions! That's right, it's time for\xa0a fast-paced, lightning round of microcasting! It's like eight very, very short podcasts in one.
\n
\n\t* Why do some authors only ever come out with one or two books?
\n\t* What's your process for writing fast under artificial deadlines (NaNoWriMo)?
\n\t* How do you avoid getting bogged down in explanation?
\n\t* What happened to your Hero of a Thousand Faces episode? (Whoops! See below.)
\n\t* Are there concerns or pitfalls regarding the use of metaphors and\xa0similes in genre fiction?
\n\t* What are some pitfalls to writing short stories?
\n\t* How do you write sex scenes? (Note: This particular question resulted in an entire episode back in Season 7. Shanna Germain to the rescue!)
\n\t* Have any of you included original poems in your work?
\n
\nWhoops! We lock-stepped this episode to the release of A Memory of Light, but we ALSO locked it to air after our Hero of a Thousand Faces discussion. Crass commercialism trumps continuity! You'll get the hero's journey next week.
