Description

Peter Orullian joins us in front of a live audience at Westercon 67 for a Q&A. The questions include:

As a writer, how do you handle reviewing other people's books?
How do you compartmentalize your writing to prevent that obsession from displacing everything else?

(Here are the signs we talked about)


How do you create frightening, unique creatures?
What are the basics about networking at a convention?
Is there a yield for the average story idea?
What rules do you follow and what rules do you break when writing epic fantasy?
What can you do in critique groups to teach craft if you're avoiding prescriptive critique?
How strongly do you believe that the audience won't remember what you've told them, but will remember how you said it?
