I love Sanderson’s perspective. I’ve read some of his books, but he is a book making machine. And you see why. His approaches are so pragmatic, and his perspective is so macro. It makes being an author seem approachable. As if, you are assumed to just be writing books, and these are some solutions as you go about doing that.

Jim mentions Debbies book, paused the video, ordered the book. A few weeks later I've been writing an outline of a story and really enjoying understanding how the structure of a story actually works and how I can do it myself!

Which book is that? Audio's muddy for me and my sub-optimal hearing.

Brandon Sanderson. The only man alive who can disagree with four of the 'greats' at the same time and change their minds . . .

12:15 - For me that "scream out loud" moment was in Jim's Dead Beat, when I realized that, YES - HARRY WAS REALLY GOING TO DO THAT. You'll have to read it to find out what "that" is. I had to put the book down and just hold my head for a minute or two.

I loved the way that one gentleman described a first draft as "like making clay out of nothing." Ive only recently reached the point that I can even finish a first draft, and im discovering very quickly that the 2nd draft is much more fun. Of course, im also a zero drafter, so my additional drafts are largely adding to the story

No, real parents don't always have a favorite child. I have five daughters, and there have been moments when each one of them hung the moon for me and moments of utter frustration. But no favorites. They're my children.

53:30 - he is wrong at least in part, buts the most emotionally impacting thing that I can remember reading was a Hemingway short, which literally cried myself to sleep after, and I have have never read that story again and I never plan to read any of his works again. They may be some of the best written things of all human history, but there is to much in the world to be depressed about I don't want to fill myself with the story where there is no hope, nothing good happens, and there is no way to make anything better. I don't want to see the world through the eye of a thought the way to a better life was suicide.

You'd have to be dead to not have a book you wrote with Neal Peart be your favorite book of all, even if it was complete trash.

"Sensitivity readers" is just a cute expression for censorship.
