\"LabyrinthofFlame_cover_med\"<\/a>Skiffy and Fanty Podcast:<\/h3>\n

So on Tuesday, the Skiffy and Fanty Fantasy Roundtable discussion<\/a> between\u00a0 Courtney Schafer, Kate Elliott, and myself, with the indefatigable Paul Weimer as moderator, went live — and actually, it sounds pretty good. We managed to canvass worldbuilding, magic systems, characters and more, and there are some great quotes in there. For example:<\/p>\n

\"blackwolves\"<\/a>“It doesn’t matter what the story is, it’s how you tell it.”<\/em> ~ Courtney Schafer<\/p>\n

“I want to see the world through others’ eyes — that’s why I read.”<\/em> ~ Kate Elliott<\/p>\n

“When I write,\u00a0 I have to be true to the storytelling. That’s the prime imperative.”<\/em> ~ Helen Lowe (aka Yours Truly. \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n
