Determination, Deliberation, and Dragons Peter Markotsis & Isabella Perez

- アート
On Determination, Deliberation, and Dragons, Izzy (she/her) and Peter (they/them) chat about creative writing while workshopping stories of our own. Our goal is to become better writers, and to share some of our insights along the way. Each episode, we'll discuss all the ingredients that go into writing a great story from setting and characters to, of course, the apocalypse! There's really not one "right" way to become a great writer, but hopefully this podcast will be a way for us (and maybe for you too!) to get a little better practicing and thinking about writing, and generally just having a good time together. So if you're someone who really likes creative writing, enjoys reading late into the night, or wants to hear our thoughts on the best dragon (spoiler alert: every dragon is the best), then join us on our writing quest!

Welcome to what we're calling Season 2.5! Law school is keeping Peter busy, but we're still finding time to interview amazing authors.

BONUS: Interview With Star Wars Author Laura Pohl
We interviewed an author who wrote a Star Wars short story! Laura Pohl is the author of "Trooper Trouble" in the anthology series "From a Certain Point of View." Her story is featured in the Return of the Jedi book. It tells the story of a stormtrooper tasked with standing in the hanger of the Death Star as important members of the Empire visit the new battle station. Working for the Empire comes with some problems: the working hours are long, the coworkers are difficult to get along with, no one is training them to use blasters, the paychecks have all been delayed, and there isn't any caf in the breakroom. It's a fun story that sheds some light on one of the largest and most unappreciated workforces in the Empire.
We had so much fun talking with Laura about her short story and what it was like being able to publish a story in the Star Wars universe. We hope that you enjoy our conversation!
