BOTM #26: IT – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast
In today's cold open, we talk about our current writing progress. After that, we discuss Stephen King's bestselling novel IT.
Rather than talk about the story, which almost everyone knows already, we discuss the icky bits that nobody wants to hear about. You know the scene! Also, all the racism and gross nonsense, but we don't dwell on that stuff too much. We break down some of the writing tricks Stephen King used to scare readers, and we end the episode by giving a quick top five of our favorite King novels.
