About this listen

Following the immense success of Volume I with over 35,000 copies sold, On Writing and Worldbuilding: Volume II brings a host of new topics to table in even more detail and depth. Writing advice tends to be full of "rules" and "tips" which are either too broad to be helpful or outright wrong.

Aimed at specific, applicable, and practical discussions, from writing fight scenes to first-person narration to hard and soft worldbuilding, Volume II is a "must have".

Listening to these books I find myself often pausing and thinking on how does the topic apply to one of my 3 stories in progress.
2 books in it already helped me with at least 3-4 rodeblocks in 2 of my stories particularly on the worldbuilding side. (I kinda got a sense of how to structure and write the stories already from listening to 20-ish novels, and Sanderson's lectures, but I often found myself lacking on the worldbuilding side.)

Basically: Here are some ideas, do whatever with them.
