Writing Excuses Season Four Episode 12: Writing Epics

From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2010/03/28/writing-excuses-4-12-writing-epics/

Key points: Epic does not just mean super-size it. Scope, immersion, a really big story? Larger than life issues. Multiple narratives and multiple story lines. Start small, then expand. Avoid worldbuilder's disease. There's nothing wrong with starting small and doing it well.

[Brandon] Howard, why don't you give us a writing prompt this time?
[Howard] Okay. Take a look at... oh, boy, do I dare send people out to the Internet for an epic win? I was going to say take... google epic win. Take one of these, one of the images that you see with epic win... they are mostly pretty clean from what I've seen. Take one of these epic win images and try to actually craft an epic story around that image.
[Brandon] Great. That's a great idea. This has been Writing Excuses. You're out of excuses, now go write.
