#224 TTRPG Mentorship – The Writing Process
Wednesday Jan 25, 2023
Wednesday Jan 25, 2023
Ep4 - Rick Heinz (he/him) and David Whitworth (he/they) talk with Crystal Mazur (she/her/mx) about the writing process. We discuss where we draw ideas from and how we keep them for the future, different types of writing, outlining styles, redlines/developer notes, writer's block, writing pitches, and our takeaways from the episode.
Content Warning: Discussion of cockroaches swarming
Editing Note: Unfortunately, David’s internet went out toward the end of our discussion. I have edited out all the long, awkward silence in the recording, so it is just Rick and I speaking for a while. David rerecorded his ending portions, which I added in so that the sound quality may be different.
