EP 206: Are you writing for escapism? Tips for not letting that show

Today, host Fortunus Games and co-host R.N. Roveleh list 10 tips for determining whether you're writing for escapism. This is an important topic because I think all of us have struggled to balance escapism and writing.  Our 10 tips are: Does your story have a structure or is it just brainstorming? Is your story structured around a theme or themes? Is your protagonist yourself? Is their love interest idealized? Are you writing only what you know? Are you avoiding topics that need research? Is your writing avoiding subjects that you don't want to think about? Are you trying to improve your writing? Would you read this book (if the characters/setting were different)? Think carefully: what is your main goal when you write?
