Writing Excuses Season 2 Episode 13: Violence
Archive Seasons 1-6 – Writing Excuses - Podcast autorstwa Brandon Sanderson, Mary Robinette Kowal, Dan Wells, and Howard Tayler
All three of your Writing Excuses hosts include a measure of violence in their written work. So Brandon, Dan, and Howard decide to clear the air a little bit. Why do we write about violence? What does it bring to a work of fiction, and what challenges does it pose? Is there a morally appropriate way to write about violence? How does it impact the theme of your work? Is there a difference between writing about violence and writing comedic mayhem? Writing Prompt: Have some fun in the worst possible way. Write a scene that has an extremely violent sequence that glorifies the violence and then write a scene dealing with the consequences.
