This episode is an unscripted reflection on creative burnout, identity, and what it feels like to lose faith in your own voice. I talk openly about writing, artificial intelligence, unfinished work, and the slow, fragile process of returning to the things that once gave life meaning.

There Will Be Blood: world building for contemprary and historical fiction
In this episode of Fiction Writer we explore the misconception that contemporary and historical fiction stories do not engage in world building. The world of any story is an abstracted form of reality and the process of abstraction is never free of omissions, distortions, or out-right falsehoods. Fiction writers can never be perfect, but by world building our contemporary or historical fictions while acknowledging the damage we can cause, leads to more inclusive worlds and ultimately stronger stories.
