b'All three of your Writing Excuses hosts include a measure of violence in their written work. So Brandon, Dan, and Howard decide to clear the air a little bit.
\\n
\\nWhy do we write about violence? What does it bring to a work of fiction, and what challenges does it pose? Is there a morally appropriate way to write about violence? How does it impact the theme of your work?\\xa0 Is there a difference between writing about violence and writing comedic mayhem?
\\n
\\nWriting Prompt: Have some fun in the worst possible way. Write a scene that has an extremely violent sequence that glorifies the violence and then write a scene dealing with the consequences.\\n\\nOur Sponsors:\\n* Check out Factor 75 and use our code wx50 for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com/ \\n\\nSupport this podcast at \\u2014 https://redcircle.com/writing-excuses2130/exclusive-content\\n\\nAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands'
