Lively discussion of speculative fiction and worldbuilding - RIP Terry Pratchett

Discussed a current creative project of Ken Fallon at length - discussed the importance of using FOSS for longevity of creative projects to avoid getting locked out by proprietary file formats.

Ken uses paper + Google Docs... reminded of the Google Graveyard : Google Graveyard - https://killedbygoogle.com/

Game Of Thrones Books

Considerations for storytelling :

The Writer's Journey - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Writer%27s_Journey:_Mythic_Structure_for_Writers

The Seven Basic Plots - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Basic_Plots

The Hero's Journey - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero%27s_journey

Also, not enough people draw upon the 100 Year's War or Italian city-states period for inspiration - which is the secret sauce for Game of Thrones
