Determination, Deliberation, and Dragons
On Determination, Deliberation, and Dragons, Izzy (she/her) and Peter (they/them) chat about creative writing while workshopping stories of our own. Our goal is to become better writers, and to share some of our insights along the way. Each episode, we'll discuss all the ingredients that go into writing a great story from setting and characters to, of course, the apocalypse! There's really not one "right" way to become a great writer, but hopefully this podcast will be a way for us (and maybe for you too!) to get a little better practicing and thinking about writing, and generally just having a good time together. So if you're someone who really likes creative writing, enjoys reading late into the night, or wants to hear our thoughts on the best dragon (spoiler alert: every dragon is the best), then join us on our writing quest! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
