The Sword and Laser discussion

Gary Whitta is an award-winning screenwriter who wrote The Book of Eli and worked on the first Star Wars standalone film. So when he had an idea for a dark historical fantasy story he wrote a book. Why? We ask him that, about successfully crowdfunding his novel, and much more on this episode!

Oh, and yes. We ask him about Star Wars too.

"Also good against migraines I've heard", she said with a not at all suspicious look on her face. "I've heard", huh? :p

Anyway ... that Inkshares platform sounds very interesting.

I wish all authors were forced to talk about Gary Whitta about what a Strong Female Character really is. Sansa is one. Zack Snyder's Kung fu pin ups are not.

He mentions screenplays changing from what you originally wrote. Look up the story of how Peter Segel's historical drama of the Cuban revolution became Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights

I'd never heard of this book before but my interest has been piqued. I went over to Inkshare and read the first chapter. Pretty solid so far. I want to read the next two and see if it holds up. I love me some Lovecraft.

Whitta is all over my Twitter feed tonight for some reason. Hashtag coincidence.

Don't ask Kelly Sue DeConnick how to write a strong female character. She'll hand you your ass.
