2013 Brandon Sanderson Lecture 15 - Q&A: Discovering Chars, Books on Writing, Diagnosing (6/6)

[@WriteAboutDragons]

The class in the official sense is over, but I hope to keep posting stuff. And most importantly, I'm trying to put together a system so that it's easier for people to get good feedback. Stay tuned

Oh my God!!! 2:46!! He was talking about Spensa, protagonist of Skyward😍 That's so cool!!!

[@Ironworthstriking]

I was wondering who it was!

I'm imagining attending this class on campus and reaching the last lecture. I would cry. Thank you for writing, teaching, and existing, Brandon

So much gold in these lectures

They make this series of "Writer's Guide Thesaurus" books, but my favorite is the "Emotional Wound Thesaurus: A Writer's Guide to Psychological Trauma." I use it for all my characters. I make sure they all have at least one trauma in the past or as the book is happening and I use this book to see how that would shape who they are or who they become.

Any word on videos for this years class?

[@Vofzolne]

Answer this please.

Hah! Spaz (3:00) is Spensa from Skyward, isn't she?

Larry Brooks' "Story Engineering" and "Story Physics" are excellent books on writing.

I love writing excuses. It would be a great companion to taking this class

Someone needs to make a vine of everyone applauding Brandon eating the sucker.

Thankyou for putting this all online, it's been a fantastic education and it helps to keep me motivated. Will there be another lecture series in 2014 and will it be recorded for the internet as well?

[@drakkar2guerre]

A book I would recommend is John Truby's Anatomy of a Story.

Brandon is awesome. Sad class is over. :( I feel like I was taking the class, too lol.

So, to sum it all up; *Intuition* xD
