Podiobook author tells all his secrets

Huge props to Mark Yoshimoto-Nemcoff for spreading the love in a recent interview on Script Notes. He plugs a half dozen of his fellow podiobook authors while informing prospective new authors on what all is involved in the process.

It’s always interesting to hear how some authors pull it all together:

I try to approach each book with the television series model in mind. Each book is potentially a “season” with its own multi-episodic story arcs within the larger arc of the story, within a much bigger world view of the franchise. This makes it a lot easier to go into the process without an outline because I find the characters always change organically throughout the book. I may know exactly how the season ends but seldom do my initial ideas of how that journey happens stay the same. I’m constantly thinking about it, making little notes that I pray I can find when it comes time every morning to actually write. My process is total chaos, which works for me because of my previous experience as a writer and how strong a believer I am in adhering to the foundation of story structure.
