If you want to learn how to properly pace your stories, there are probably better ways to do that. But they probably won't be nearly as entertaining.

We open up things by briefly discussing how our writing and reading goals are starting this new year. After that, oh, we get into it! We have a long conversation on an article written about Stephen King recently. In the article, Stephen King has been exposed as being fatphobic and possibly having negative views of women.
Also, make sure to stick around after the outro for a brief bit of absolute idiocy created by yours truly.
You can check out the article we discuss at Fantasy Magazine.

We break down three more weird Murakami stories. In this one, we meet a young man who works for a bizarre letter reading company, a guy who has unnerving encounters with the "TV People" who nobody else seems to notice, and a guy who reminisces about all the Chinese people he's ever met in his life.

We start today's episode off with a discussion about the use of adverbs in your writing. Specifically, whether you should follow the old adage of cutting them out of your work or if it's not actually that bad to use them. After that, we have a long conversation about purple prose.
For those who don't know, purple prose is essentially overwriting to the point that it harms the story you're telling. We talk about whether we think purple prose gets a bad rap and if it should hold a place in your writing.
We end the episode by talking about allegory (not analogy, which we so egregiously say over and over again).
