Never try, never fail!

No, that's not what we are talking about.

What does it mean, then, you ask? Well, when a mommy try loves a daddy fail, they get together and...

Oh, wait, that's not how that works at all.

If you're a writer, you need to understand try/fail cycles. While this may, indeed, relate to the romance novel you're writing, the try/fail cycle is a concept that applies to nearly any genre.

Join Jared and Chris as they sit down with Liz Verity for another great learning opportunity. Don't worry. The discussion is pretty G-rated and shouldn't make anyone blush.

He joins Jared and Chris to talk about the differences in Fantasy and Dark Fantasy and why some authors delve into the darker side of story telling. He has written some of his own stories and is in the process of creating more. So why does he write and read this darker side?

We all have dark curiosities, and thoughts that tickle the back of our conscious that we may shudder at sharing with the rest of the world. So how and why do some authors bring those ideas to the forefront and build their worlds around them? Art has some insights into those questions and how he, on a fundamental level, is trying to share a part of himself the best way he knows how.

Jared and Chris are back again, this time with Jared's brother and sister-in-law. Adam and Jackie have been involved in the creation of Duradim, the characters, and the plot from the very beginning. They've spent hours listening and reporting back as the story line progressed. They drive up for a visit occasionally, and they've spent many of the seven-hour trips in deep discussion with the authors asking them questions and helping them work through issues. While they like spoilers, you may not, so there aren't any spoilers in this episode. But Adam and Jackie LOVE the spoilers and enjoy being part of the process. They already know how much of the story will end; who will survive and who will not make it to the end. They also know which bad guys will get their comeuppance and what twists and turns lie ahead. They even have parts of the world named after them! (Go get the book and check out the map and you'll see where.) Join Jared and Chris as they discuss more of the world of Duradim, get Adam and Jackie's perspectives and consider what advice you would give if you were so integrally involved with an author and could help shape an entire world.…

Jared Lovelady and Chris Howald return for another discussion, this time joined by Chris's brother, Caleb. The writer's have gotten a lot of feedback on the book from Caleb, so if there are mistakes, they're likely Caleb's fault! They discuss likes and dislikes and get into some of the skills Caleb has developed over the years, including his leatherwork. For those who have seen them, Caleb is the designer and creator of the leather and wood bookmarks that go along with the Chronicles of Duradim series. He's also working on leather book covers and perfecting the skill of binding. In the future there will likely be some special edition books with hand-crafted covers made by Caleb. Join Jared and Chris as they discuss more of the world of Duradim, get Caleb's thoughts on the endeavor, and talk about his creative projects. Be inspired by their projects, then go out and do some creating of your own!…
