PATRICK ROTHFUSS: Hello,
everyone and welcome to the
00:00:11
story broad, the story broad.
00:00:15
CHERIE PRIEST: That's
me, apparently.
00:00:19
I've decided to start the show
using a technique I think of
00:00:24
as the Dick Van Dyke, where you
take a pratfall, early on.
00:00:27
And it makes you--
00:00:29
whoops, we've got two.
00:00:32
TERRY BROOKS: I don't
know what happened.
00:00:35
PATRICK ROTHFUSS: We
lost you for a sec.
00:00:38
TERRY BROOKS: I know.
00:00:40
The whole screen went dark.
00:00:41
PATRICK ROTHFUSS: That's fine.
00:00:43
I think your other one
will automatically
00:00:45
log out after a second.
00:00:48
So welcome to "The Story Board,"
brought to you by Geek
00:00:53
& Sundry and the American
Ketchup Advisory Board.
00:00:58
In these troubled political
times, please remember that
00:01:02
nothing is more American
than ketchup.
00:01:11
This week, we will be talking
about form and function, about
00:01:16
plot, about pacing, about how
we structure stories and how
00:01:23
much that determines how
well the story works.
00:01:27
It's kind of a slippery
subject.
00:01:29
Character, you can
kind of point at.
00:01:31
Plot, you can kind
of point at.
00:01:34
But there are some other really
subtle things going on
00:01:37
here, in terms of the actual
behind-the-scene nuts and
00:01:45
bolts of what makes
a story work.
00:01:47
And to help with this
discussion, we
00:01:50
have our lovely guests.
00:01:52
And we'll start with Brandon.
00:01:53
Would you care to introduce
yourself briefly?
00:01:56
BRANDON SANDERSON: I'm Brandon
Sanderson, most recently and
00:01:59
best known for finishing Robert
Jordan's "Wheel of
00:02:01
Time." I'm author of a number
of various books, of all
00:02:05
shapes and sizes.
00:02:07
Pat told us we should
plug our stuff.
00:02:09
So I've got a new book out on
Audible right now, for free,
00:02:14
called "Legion." So you could
just go download it.
00:02:16
It's completely free.
00:02:17
It's a little novella.
00:02:18
PATRICK ROTHFUSS: Cool.
00:02:22
CHERIE PRIEST: Oh, my turn.
00:02:24
Hi, I'm Cherie Priest.
00:02:26
And I've had about a dozen
books published.
00:02:28
But when people tell me they've
read my book, they
00:02:30
always mean "Boneshaker,"
just across the board.
