This is KAMWylant and you are listening to the 55th episode of the Word Play Podcast.

I love daring narrative fiction.

Someone asked me this week if I had a preference for first or third person POBs in present

or past tense.

But this is one of those areas in which my opinionated

self take second place to my eclectic self. I really don't have a preference. I love

it when authors think outside the box and experiment with new ways to tell a story.

I hope to do a little experimenting myself in my work and progress the deepest breath, or at least

stray from the beaten path of the tight third-person past tense narrative that I've used in on my previous books.

Ultimately, the story itself will have to dictate what's best for it.

But I'm looking forward to having the freedom to play around and try new things.

Info dumps don't belong in dialogue.

The latest post in the video series on my blog explains how to convey crucial information

to your reader without overburdening your dialogue. You can watch the video on my blog at

Wordplay-K-M-Y-L-N-D dot blog spot. New videos are posted every Wednesday. Meanwhile, enjoy this week's

podcast. Why no writer knows what he's doing. I've been telling stories since I was two years old. I've been writing stories since I was 12.

I have two published books and two more scheduled to my name.

I know enough about the craft to write this podcast, numerous guest posts, a blog, and a blog sharing

that knowledge with other writers.

Sounds like I've really got a handle on this writing business, doesn't it?

The truth, however, is a little more fluid than that.

The truth is, I really have no idea what I'm doing.
