Episode 147 - Writing Stories Without Passion

<p>In this episode, the two Matts release the episode a few days late to coincide the skit with Halloween (and yes, that's totally the reason), do another annual Halloween-themed skit but this time about a "story vampire," come up with funny nicknames for famous authors, and talk about writing stories without passion in the last of our set about terrible story ideas? When would writers have to write stories they're not interested in? How can you make it interesting for you? Is there a way to still make it good? How good is Matt David's Transylvanian accent and when will Hollywood call him? We discuss it all, while just about to go out for candy and creep out some kids, and talk about the works of Charles Dickens, George R.R. Martin, Brandon Sanderson, and the movie Monsters University for some reason.</p> <p>Have any feedback or questions for our hosts?
