I got home late last night from Worldcon, where Howard Tayler was beaten to the Best Graphic Story Hugo Award by the much-deserving Phil and Kaja Foglio with Girl Genius . Congratulations!
In this week’s Writing Excuses episode Howard, Dan, and I talk about trimming—tightening your prose and reducing word count without changing your story. And while at Worldcon we recorded three episodes with the puppeteer and Campbell-winning writer Mary Robinette Kowal , so that’s something to look forward to in upcoming podcasts.
And since it’s Tuesday, a new Mistborn 3 annotation has gone up and I have three links to give you: Part One Wrap-Up , Chapter Fourteen , and Chapter Fifteen . The beginning of Part Two is when Spook shows up, so these are chapters I particularly like. It’s more setup, but with a more epic scope like Hero of Ages has, more setup is necessary.
