Episode description
Your Hosts: Dan, Mary Robinette, Howard, with special guest Patrick Rothfuss How do you write beautiful prose? How do you set about telling a story with words that sing (and dance, and tell jokes) instead of just conveying information in word-sized chunks? In this episode we talk about how we do it, and how writers might set out to do good word-do like the best good word-doers do. Liner Notes: Gwendolyn Brooks—We Real Cool Credits: This episode was recorded by Bert Grimm, and mastered by Alex Jackson
