Couch To 80k Writing Boot Camp - 2 Minute Pitch

On this episode I chat to author Nate Crowley about ideas - specifically the incubation, hatching and rearing thereof. Lots of discussion of how to generate ideas, how you know when an idea is ready, how to turn an idea into a story, as well as in-depth chat about world-building, good and bad. We go quite deep into a lot of SF, Fantasy and genre chat, but the talk should be accessible for all authors who care about ideas and originality and giving their readers an experience they won't soon forget.

This is Day 10 of the 100 Day Writing Challenge by Tim Clare, a free course via podcast for writers of all levels.

Each episode has a 10 minute writing exercise, including a timer, related to some aspect of the craft. Over days and weeks, these build together to help you gain confidence and get match fit for writing whatever you want.

This course was made possible by the generous support of Arts Council England, and by the support of listeners. If you'd like to help me create more free content for authors, you can support my career by buying my novels, THE ICE HOUSE and THE HONOURS, via the links below.

100 Day Writing Challenge - Day 10

The first part of a series in which I write a novel, from scratch, and talk you through my process. To kick things off, I consider the basics - what's this story about? Who's the protagonist?

Since I'm trying to write a Fantasy adventure, I do some brainstorming about what powers my protag might have, and what limitations or costs those powers might be constrained by.

I talk through Michael Moorcock's advice for writing a book in 3 days, which you can read here: http://www.ghostwoods.com/2010/05/how-to-write-a-book-in-three-days-1210/
