2013 B. Sanderson Writing Excuses 8.9: Brainstorming with Howard in Shadows Beneath (2014) 225/1
Weβre talking about two different stories here [...] The second story is, Death shows up. There is a short sequence between them. Guy says, βOkay, I'll think about it.β And then immediately goes into βWeβve got to find a way around this,β and the story is actually a problem story. βWe are going to figure out how to defeat these things.β And you write a story about that. One is about the conversation. One is about the problem. |
