Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Brandon Sanderson teaches a class at BYU in which his students produce a 50k-word fantasy novel, and one semester he recorded the lectures and put them online. He and some author friends also do a podcast called Writing Excuses where they cover a wide range of writing topics and give prompts for listeners to practice. His tips may not be perfect but they are very good and a great resource.
Title should say 'Sanderson', which makes a lot more sense. This guy is famous among world builders for Sanderson's laws of magic, which deal with designing interesting magic systems.
It has been a while since I've read his work but I vaguely remember not agreeing with absolutely everything he said, but otherwise he is a pretty awesome writer on this topic. I hope the incorrectly titled thread doesn't lead to low interest...
Brandon Sanderson is a miracle worker, he creates worldsb that breathe with a deep history and culture
But all I can see right now is a tubby version of Dwight
Why are penguins' knees so weird?
he has many other lectures like this on writing
I wonder if Brandon knows about this subreddit. I bet he would be interested. Calling /u/mistborn
This guy is one of my fave authors
He has such a fascinating ability to generate compelling and in depth works. It's so easy to get lost in his worlds. Thanks for the post!
I love Brandon Sanders!
