• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

I listened to his first 2020 lecture the other day while making dinner. Other than obviously liking to hear himself talk, it was good--he said a lot that made me feel like I was doing stuff mostly right in terms of trying to make this writing gig work ... eventually ... I'm looking forward to his subsequent lectures (and hoping they have more substance to them...introductory lectures, no matter how good the speaker, are so much fluff and housekeeping).

Thanks, I've subscribed so I can watch (again, very similar to a few years ago) as soon as it's uploaded :) In his signing of The Way of Kings videos (very long, I'm still going, I just come back to them when I have time) his macaw, Jello. makes an appearance. Gorgeous!

Just saw this in the comments under the lecture:
"Just Btw for everyone watching this, Because of Covid-19 BYU has decided to cease in person classes and has actually encouraged the students still on campus to go home by the end of the week. It sounds like there might be Online Classes starting in a week, but I don't know how that is all going to affect the youtube recordings. Some news from anyone in the know would be greatly appreciated."

This is old content and part of an earlier full lecture, but it seems a lot of people need help when it comes to plot archetypes (not admitting to anything, though).

I think they're repeats of earlier lectures, but hey, it's free!
 
Time to catch up (this one is great for all those questions about how long the intro should be):
There is also the 'live' questions on character vid:
