“When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.”
Is your campfire going out?
Most websites don’t fail because the owner doesn’t care. They fail because they were built to sit still.
That’s the quiet assumption behind the old model: design it, launch it, check the box, move on. Maybe you tweak it once a year. Maybe you call your developer when something breaks. Maybe you stare at your analytics and wonder why nothing’s happening.
It’s not that you did something wrong. It’s that you were handed a campfire with no one around to keep it burning.

Adrian Tchaikovsky came on the show to talk about how he writes fantasy and science fiction. He won the Arthur C. Clarke Award for his book, Children of Time, and has written more than 60 books and novellas. He spends his life thinking about how to make believable worlds and how to build characters that have weight to them.

He spends his life thinking about how to make believable worlds and how to build characters that have weight to them. My favorite thing is how he writes a fight scene, how he thinks through the pacing and all the action. If you want to write imaginative stories filled with wonder and fantasy, you're going to like this episode.
