Description

Mary is back! We still had a Mary Robinette Kowal episode from WorldCon 67, and now you have it too! We take questions from the audience, and then answer them. Here are the questions:

What do you do if your characters revolt and start to take over the story?
When you became a writer what most surprised you with its difficulty?
How do you build the history for the worlds your books are set in?

Three huge questions, TWELVE answers. Enjoy!

Oh... and your writing prompt: write about The Predestined Monkey.
