Writer and podcastor Mur Lafferty joins us to talk about what it looks like to be a professional writer. We then dive into the process of creating her newest novel, Six Wakes, a locked-room murder mystery in space… with CLONES! Plus, a shocking PPOW that will go down in StoryMen history!
Story Men - April 30, 2018
Summer Escapes, Summer Discipline
With Infinity War opening last weekend, the Summer movie season has officially kicked off. The StoryMen turn their annual Summer Movie Preview into a game: can we predict the three biggest box-office winners (after Infinity War)? Can we predict the biggest bust? And what should the loser have to do? YOU decide. PLUS: we have some summer writing goals as well, so we talk about how to find our writing discipline and rhythm.
