The Secrets Podcast Series Four: Novels

The Secrets Podcast has just started its fourth season. This time around I’m tackling novels and the stuff that takes place while you’re writing one. I’m starting off using Star Wars™ X-wing™ Rogue Squadron™ as my example. It’s a good choice because so many folks have read it, and since it started a series, has all the world- and situation-building bits that are vital to creating a successful novel.

Rogue Squadron™ will take five shows it looks like. This first, which you can download through the link below, covers much of the set-up for the series. The rest of the episodes will break the novel down into the beginning, middle and end chunks. One cool thing is that I’m having reread the novel, which I’ve not done in over ten years. It holds up pretty well.
