354: Character, Conflict, and World Building in Fantasy - Interview with C.L. Clark
DIY MFA Radio04/21/21 • 43 min
Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing C.L. Clark.
Cherae graduated from Indiana University’s creative writing MFA and was a 2012 Lambda Literary Fellow. In addition to writing, she has had various jobs as she’s traveled the world, including: personal trainer, English teacher, editor, or some combination thereof.
When she’s not writing or working, she’s learning languages, doing P90something, or reading about war and post-colonial history. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in FIYAH, PodCastle, Uncanny, and Beneath Ceaseless Skies and she is now one of the co-editors at PodCastle and editor of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) Blog.
In this episode C.L. and I discuss:- How to identify which character is the protagonist and whether there can be two.
- The relationship between magic, religion, and technology and how she uses it.
- Different ways to handle conflict and the approach she takes in her writing.
Plus, her #1 tip for writers.
