#14. The Author Train Chugs On!
Episode 14 presents a mix of new story ideas based on Exquisite Corpses, suggested by listeners; storytelling from an evolutionary psychology perspective; a new book release announcement; more Exquisite Corpse game play; and a Halloween Challenge for you!
Halloween Challenge: Can you write a 400-2K word story based on one of these, or on an adjective-noun combo in any one of them (e.g. “humungous vampire”)?:
1. The disgruntled ghost hunter eloped with the anthropomorphic mushroom.
2. The brutal woodchuck picked a poisonous plant for the watery burgomaster (European mayor).
3. The deceased griffin dug deep into the sackcloth pockets of the great vicar.
4. The aggressive centaur peered through binoculars at the gullible acrobat.
5. The humungous vampire angrily washed the engorged cheese.

"It was very interesting to "see" those words appear and form really weird sentences. I feel something magical could happen ... What an intriguing experience you create for your subscribers and listeners (especially authors!). thank you!" - M. L. White, author: @Mariah94350720
"50 mins of excellence. Enjoyed every moment and the "20 min magic" exercise is such a wonderful idea to get the imagination juices flowing. Your voice is therapeutic to listen to too." - @MagnaCarter1967
"It's a very fun and lighthearted podcast but also gets you thinking about your own writing." - Alessandro Bozzo, author
"I’m really enjoying Brainstoryum by Anna Tizard which is all about the surreality of writing, the pursuit of imagination, and a few rounds of the “exquisite corpse” game for good measure. It’s great indie-author fodder." - Frasier Armitage, author
"Brilliant concept and beautiful, soothing voice. You could definitely be an audiobook reader, Ms. Tizard. As with Morgan Freeman, I could probably listen to you read the dictionary and come away smiling." - Edge Erin, author
