An exciting new horror story has come out, promising spooky monsters and exciting twists that will surely have a satisfying payoff. This week, we address some tricky questions about common pitfalls in horror. How do you resolve a conflict with an ove... more
Characters sometimes feel sad. But what if they felt… extra sad? If it’s sad enough to be a big deal, probably the saddest they’ll ever be, we call that a low point. Much has been made of low points, with some giving them fancy names like “dark night... more
Writers often have difficulty portraying other people’s jobs. There are so many little details to get right, tricks of the trade that are difficult to research, and perspective that can only be gained from years of experience. But you’d think if ther... more

I would love to give this show five stars. Because in many ways it deserves it. The information is fantastic, whether you are a writer or a dungeon master, you will find something in this podcast to enhance your craft.

I am benefitting from the Mythcreant website most of all because it contains so much helpful craft content. I already know how to put together a novel, but Mythcreants’ posts still help, even though I don’t write fantasy or sci-fi.

Can you do a podcast on the spellslinger series by Sabastyen de castle
I started listening to them in 2020 and check up with new episodes every few weeks - currently working on a new novel and I really feel, that I know better how to check for plot holes, character karma and logical (thought through) character decisions. I can especially recommend everything about structure in storytelling - it helps a lot in the long run and it’s always good fun to listen to them :>.
