I wasn’t part of the recently recorded “Fantasy” episode of our genre writing series, and, in fact, Fantasy wasn’t even my selected prompt (I drew Sci-Fi, which you may recall from our Genre episode), but a funny thing happened during my daily commute. I had written a rough piece for my Sci-Fi prompt, and I started to think: “What would I have done with Fantasy?” That’s the way things go for me sometimes—inspiration hits when I’m done with another deadline. It’s that curiosity without the pressure, the what would I have done if…?
And it unspooled from there; a fully formed fairy tale about a tailor and a knight who meet in a bar. It’s one of the easiest things I’ve written recently—and I’m not talking about quality here, that’s another (ahem) story. I’m just talking about the ease with which the words tumbled out. Read more…

In our recent episode (“Writing Spaces and Rituals“), Paul, Jim and I discussed whether or not we listened to music while we wrote. I rattled off a few tracks, but I thought it might be nice to add a little more detail (and links!) in case folks were interested into a little deeper insight. In the following segment, I go over some of my picks, and then Caroline, who wasn’t on the Spaces and Rituals episode gets a chance to talk about music in her OWN writing process! Read more…

By storytellers for storytellers, the Deceptionists podcast examines the art, craft and process of writing -- in an attempt to bring communal experience to the solitary life of the writer.
At least one of your friendly neighborhood deceptionists is doing NaNoWriMo this November. Come hang out and befriend us and add some serious communal benefit to this intense, solitary act.
