PATRICK ROTHFUSS: [HUMMING]
00:00:07
MARY ROBINETTE KOWAL:
[LAUGHING]
00:00:08
PATRICK ROTHFUSS: It
always catches me
00:00:10
singing right before.
00:00:13
My name is Pat Rothfuss, and
welcome to "Storyboard,"
00:00:16
brought you by Geek & Sundry.
00:00:19
Today we're doing something
a little bit different.
00:00:22
I have my fabulous guest
star, Mary Kowal.
00:00:28
And we're going to--
00:00:31
rather than have kind of a
panel where we discuss a
00:00:33
topic, we're going to field
Q&A from our general
00:00:41
And we have some questions we're
going to deal with that
00:00:45
all kind of revolve around
the issue of how
00:00:50
do you start writing?
00:00:52
How do you start your story?
00:00:53
How do you start your novel?
00:00:56
This is going to be a
storyboard about the
00:00:59
beginnings of things.
00:01:01
But please do be aware that the
focus of this one is us
00:01:06
answering your questions
relating to this topic.
00:01:09
So don't be bashful if you'd
like to add your particular
00:01:14
question to the queue.
00:01:16
You can throw it onto my blog
or into the Geek & Sundry
00:01:20
chat, and our fabulous
assistants over at Geek &
00:01:25
Sundry will make us aware of
those questions and we'll do
00:01:28
our very best to fit them in.
00:01:30
So without any further rambling,
I will let Mary
00:01:36
introduce herself.
00:01:37
MARY ROBINETTE KOWAL:
So hello.
00:01:38
I am Mary Robinette Kowal.
00:01:41
I am a science fiction
and fantasy author.
00:01:43
I write some novels--
00:01:45
historical fantasy--
00:01:47
so it's kind of like Jane
Austen's magic.
00:01:49
And then I'm also a professional
puppeteer, which
00:01:52
usually comes up at least
once in conversation.
00:01:55
And I write short fiction
and won the Hugo in
00:01:59
2011 for short story.
00:02:01
I just love that sentence.
00:02:06
PATRICK ROTHFUSS: Witness my
sullen, bitter resentment.
00:02:10
MARY ROBINETTE KOWAL:
That's OK.
00:02:11
You have "The New York Times"
best-selling thing going on.
00:02:15
PATRICK ROTHFUSS: Well, and I
really envy the skill that you
00:02:19
have writing some of
the short fiction.
00:02:21
You write really good short
fiction over a bunch of
00:02:24
different topical error--
