Savor Shao Mai with Martha Wells as we discuss how Imposter Syndrome never truly goes away, the way Starlog introduced her to fandom, which novel allowed her to discover her own voice, why it took "hundred of drafts" to figure out where she was heading with the first book in her Rising World series, the surprising benefits of pantsing novels, her ease in bouncing back and forth between series, which Murderbot plot demanded the existence of a character who wasn't originally intended to be in the story, Bruce Sterling's workshop advice which helped her with descriptions, whether there's any difference between the audience reading her fantasy all along and those brought in by the recent success of her science fiction, the period her writing career stalled and she thought of becoming a personal trainer, how she decides which should be the next Murderbot tale to tell, why she was moved to write a story for the Tanith Lee tribute anthology, how COVID-19 affected her writing output, the advice she'd give her younger self (as well as those just starting out), plus much more.
