In this episode, the two sisters tackle the nebula award winner from 1972 - A Time of Changes by Robert Silverberg. Our man, a regular World con attendee, and prolific writer created a science fiction piece, and to us - almost a fantasy, while undertaking a personal writing challenge - to create a story without using the word “I”. So did this idea work? We definitely had our own opinions.
Here are some time markers to help guide you:
01:42 Book Jacket read (We say the names)
03:57 History Lesson
08:22 Tackling the Big Themes: Struggle bus time
11:31 The concept of writing without using “I”
12:13 Segway into Mindsharing
15:46 The New Wave style of writing
17:42 World Building, but it somehow fades to the background
20:54 Discussion of Bond Brothers/Sisters
24:30 Chosen one vs. the sidekick
25:40 We Segway again - this time into sex and character development
31:25 Earthman = Drug Dealer
33:26 Four questions
