In How to Write Good we dig deep into word clusters and ways to eliminate them.

Then we slip into the Eliptony Hut as backer Stephen Brandon demands rampant speculation on the case of the disappearing airman.

January 12th, 2018 | Robin

 

In the Gaming Hut we mull the process of scenario writing, specifically the differences between writing first, or playing first.
