We are continuing our two-part format for our episodes! First, Brent and Erik check-in about writing and publishing. Brent shares his experience selling a script to a film producer in China and Erik asks whether he’s confusing readers by writing too many genres under the same name.
Our second half covers the main topic of the day, which is about twist endings. Why does Brent think that all good stories have twist endings? And why does Erik think twist endings are frequently overrated. We delve in to the topic and share our favorite and least favorite twist endings.
(Note: if you want to jump forward to the main topic of the episode, it starts at timecode 8:43.)
