Episode 75 - World-Building Via Unexpected Inspiration

<p>In this episode, then two Matts sell a virtual-reality console meant to make writers experience things they never would otherwise to aid them in their writing, talk about the world of difference between M&Ms and Skittles, enjoy having a simple button to press for cheap plugs rather than having to painstakingly edit it in each time, and talk about world-building via unexpected inspiration from things you see or experience. What different things can inspire you? How can you force the inspiration when you're feeling particularly dry creatively? How different from giant fantasy worlds can the things be that inspire you to world-build? Why is Matt David's story Starburst inspired by a different candy other than Starburst? We discuss it all, while talking a walk outside to take in the sights and inspire us (yeah right) and talk about no other pop culture. At least, I'm fairly certain we don't.
