16.50: Worldbuilding Finale: Making Deliberate Choices  
Podcast: Writing Excuses
Published On: Sun Dec 12 2021
Description: Your Hosts: Dan Wells, Fonda Lee, Mary Robinette Kowal, and Howard Tayler Here at the end of our 8-episode intensive series on Worldbuilding we discuss stepping away from the defaults, the clichés, and the tropes, and choosing every element deliberately. There's nothing inherently wrong with the tropes. We're just suggesting that they be included only after deciding we actually want them.
