We open the episode with some current reading and writing business, then we introduce our new music for the podcast! After that, we celebrate our 100th official episode by listening and commenting on a snippet of our very first episode.
We eventually get into the topic at hand, which is book length! How long should your book be and what are the parameters of book length in various genres? We discuss all this and more, plus a special 100th episode montage at the end. Don’t miss it!
IRC #13: Oblivion Part Four – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast
Today we are discussing the short story "Good Old Neon" by David Foster Wallace. We take a deep dive into imposter syndrome, what it means to truly be a fraud, and the importance we put on how others view us.
We also correlate the story with the current state of social media and the constant need people have to be seen and heard, often through the sacrifice of their authentic selves. Finally, Caleb breaks down why he believes actor Kelsey Grammer is ultimately responsible for the death of David Foster Wallace.
