Hey everyone! I guess this topic is mainly for other writers. I just posted a Writer's Review of Words of Radiance on my writing blog. I briefly discussed just a few of the more general writing techniques Brandon used from which any writer can learn. I'd love to get some feedback on the post on any other techniques that you felt were used well in Radiance (or I guess in Brandon's writing style in general). I was also wondering, from any of the writers out there, what were some other books that made you a better writer? You could comment here or on the blog itself. Either way. Thanks everyone! Here's a link to the blog: https://anovelexchange.wordpress.com/

The majority of us here are obviously fans of fantasy and/or scifi, so I'm curious, fantasy fans: 1 What are some of your favorite non-speculative fiction authors? 2 Favorite non-fiction author? 3 And favorite non-literature writer? Mine are probably: 1 Charles Dickens, Thomas Pynchon, James Joyce and Mark Twain 2 Joseph Campbell 3 Maynard James Keenen, Tarantino, and Kevin Smith

*Note* I posted this over at Reading Excuses but I wanted to make sure everyone who writes doesn't miss out on the fun So, I'm having a thought here. I'm not certain how many people know about Brandon Sanderson's creative writing course from BYU, but I've been doing some research on the class that he's made available online at Write About Dragons. A friend and I are going to be taking his course together, but I'd love to have some more people on board to write with us as we create our own 30k word novellas through the course. Here's the gist. We would start watching through the videos in two weeks (TBA-this is just the best time for me to start) and each week watch 10-11 videos, here, while writing about 3000 new words each week. That's ten weeks. Then have two weeks of make up time at the end of the run, for finishing stories, catching up on critiques, etc. We'd keep track of our submissions through a group email, like we do here, and email our critiques directly to each other. Keep it simple and straight forward. At the end of twelve weeks, we've all written another story, gotten some education from Sanderson himself, and gotten to expand our network of fellow writers. I'm excited to get rolling and hearing what you all think! @Mandamon had a good thought, you can bring your old stories you're working through if you want. But it's definitely geared towards new, fresh stories!
