Story from Scratch Fantasy writers Yale Wang and Justin Dill

This episode, our lovely friend and wonderful writer K. M. McKenzie joins us to talk about her career and how we came to know each other. We also talk about her involvement with our partners, TdotSpec!

We dive into the history of our circle of speculative fiction writing groups in Toronto and discuss the woes of querying as writers. Don't miss out on this extra-special interview episode.

In this episode, we address the giant elephant in the room and how it has affected our productivity as creatives. That's right--this episode's all about how we're managing during the COVID-19 era.

We talk about some of the things we've been doing to keep sane during this period of social isolation and provide a few tips and tricks for maintaining a degree of normalcy in these abnormal times.

In this episode, we examine an episode of the popular animated sci-fi comedy show, Rick and Morty. Specifically, Season 4, Episode 1. So, please go watch the episode yourself before listening to the spoilers!

We talk about the time travel concepts and break down why the elements in this particular episode work or don't work. As we always say, "In comedy, everything is forgiven" but is there even anything to forgive?

Maybe you can have your funny cake and eat it with full engaging narrative power too.

In this episode, we return to our long-honoured tradition of coming up with a story idea - from Scratch™! 

We "borrow" some ideas from the noble Sherlock Holmes stories once again (it's not stealing if we're upfront about it) and follow the Justin method for coming up with the first paragraph.
