I'm not entirely certain that this belongs in General, but it's a general thing, so here it is.

I'm thinking about starting a podcast about story. Anything story. Right now, my list of topics is mainly ideas for episodes where I would break down elements of books or movies that I think worked well or not.

However, that's not all I want to do with this thing. I'd really like to take listener questions. So… Does anybody have a story question for me? Post it! …And tell me how you'd like to be credited for your question (with pronunciation guide, please!).

If I get going on this, I'll come back later with a link to the show.

How much outlining does a story need?

How does a writer learn to plot well?

What makes memorable characters?

How important are names to a story?

If you happen to use any of them, just credit my real name. It is pronounced like it looks.

How do you write realistic dialogue or learn to do so?

Use Jeremiah (my real name), it's also pronounced the way you'd expect.

Thanks, guys!
