In this episode, I discuss the way character is revealed through setting, and how setting can be a source of obstacles our characters face, especially in the area of travel in fantasy, science fiction, thrillers, and contemporary fiction.

In this episode, I mentioned or made reference to: The Martian by Andy Weir, The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, No Bed of Roses by Jemi Fraser, and my book Champion in Flight.

I also mentioned: Cutter's Point Coffee

In this writing episode, I introduce why I believe understanding setting and world-building details is important for us as authors, where I begin with setting and world-building, and briefly mention methods we can use to dive into our setting and world-building. I will be speaking more on this topic in coming episodes.

In addition to that topic, I mentioned the Insecure Writer's Support Group and the optional question for the July post, which is: What are your favorite writing processing (e.g. Word, Scrivener, yWriter, Dabble), writing apps, software, and tools?

My answers were Word, Google Docs, Atticus, Canva, and Book Funnel. I also use RSS Feeds and Substack for this podcast.

In this episode, I talk about three different reactions I get when I tell people I am an author, how I handle those interactions - sometimes well and sometimes awkwardly, and why I tell people if it's not always easy.
