The Dead Robots' Society

This week the Dead Robots discuss the topic of writing environments. Do they need a particular place, the right music, some candles, perhaps red curtains and dancing girls? Listen in as they talk about what works for them to see what might work for you.

This week our all too male show gets a needed dose of feminine energy when Mur Lafferty finally stops by for a visit. Gather around and listen in as she shares her experiences and wisdom. Learn, rejoice, and enjoy.

In this week’s exciting episode the Dead Robots sit down and have a chat with a new sci-fi writer on the scene. His name is David Williams, and he is the author of “The Mirrored Heavens”.

This week the guys (minus Justin) take on the topic of characters. What makes for a good character, what takes away from them, and exactly what is a character? These questions and more are asked and answered. Enjoy.

This week we sit down to discuss the topic of DIY (Do It Yourself) in regards to getting your writing career going. Not everyone wants to go the “traditional” route, and some have no other choice. Thanks to Matt for all the wisdom he dropped.

Happy New Years everyone! We kick this year off with a boatload of learnin’ and info droppin’. Artists constantly grow, or at least they should, and we’re here to make sure that never stops. So, settle in, pull out your notebook, and get ready to learn.

So, tis the holiday season, and with that comes the close of yet another year, so we thought it would be a good idea to end things with endings. So, gather ’round the fire, sip on some hot chocolate, and snuggle in as we get to The End.

Hello everyone, and welcome to this week’s episode where the Dead Robots discuss the topics of short fiction and long fiction. What do they have in common, how do they differ, and what lessons carry between the two. Settle in and enjoy.

This week Justin and Terry (yes, Ryan skipped out on us, begin the tears and violins now) sit down and speak with JF Lewis, author of the urban fantasy novel “Staked”. JF was a fantastic interview, and we think you’re all going to enjoy this.

This week the Dead Robots talk discuss the most important, and the hardest, part of any story – the middle. It’s where most of your drama and tension develops, where your characters are made and broken, but it’s also where most writers give up. Enjoy!

This week the Dead Robots discuss the topic of brainstorming a story. You can do it on your own, or you can do it with a friend (insert your own innuendo here), but either way you have to start thinking about your story somewhere. Enjoy!

In this episode the Dead Robots talk with friend of the show and author of “Murder At Avedon Hill” PG Holyfield about the genre of fantasy.

This week the Dead Robots are delighted to sit down and talk with Tobias Buckell, a young and talented writer who has worked in both his own universes, and now in the world of Halo. So please, sit down, relax, and enjoy.

We all have our dark periods, when we think our writing sucks and that we’re worthless. No matter who you are, you will suffer times of doubt and sadness. Such is the lot of the artist. Join us as we discuss these times and how you can get through them.

This week the guys talk about – and how could it be more fitting since it's Halloween – the horror genre. Listen in as they discuss scares, chills, and how much blood is too much. So settle in, eat some brains, and enjoy.
