Wow. Government reflects the people’s worldview. Great point! Never thought about it like that before.

Also, @aratrea, @kate-flournoy, @daeus

Who do you think first created the “political intrigue fantasy” subgenre (new genre title officially coined)?

I HAVE ARRIVED.

I not only adore political intrigue in fantasy, I believe it can be absolutely essential for developing your world and characters.
Disclaimer before I explain that— a fair chunk of my characters are inherently political by very…[Read more]

@Daeus Thanks!

@winter-rose @catwing @emily @dragon-snapper @daeus @shannon @theacornman @daughteroftheking and anyone else I forgot to tag.

So were temporarily moved. (We have a place to stay and a place for our stuff but no permanent house)

Thank you for your prayers *gulps and wipes tears* this is very hard but y’alls prayers and kindness are very…[Read more]

1. Both my mum and my teacher said I tended to use the same expressions and the same themes in my stories. I had begun to notice that I repeated some of the same expressions, but since I had never really thought about theme before, I never realised it until they said.

2. I love the “old days” and, as ridiculous as this might sound, I…[Read more]

Well, you guys inspired me. I actually went and made a collage for a character I haven’t even written yet. His name is Kaine.

Oh, and did I mention he’s a villain?

And then there’s the really annoying character in the Sector One: Insurrection. I introduce, Raruus.

@daeus

Does your previous sword fighting experience give you any ideas?

@daeus 😀 Maybe Theron’s life motto should be ‘gone fishin’. 😛 That, or something to do with ice cream. Ice cream noodles?
@kate-flournoy He’s certainly one of my happier characters.

From the same book, this is Theron.

@daeus @kate-flournoy @daughteroftheking @mariposa @catwing @corissa-maiden-of-praise

@daeus That would be hilarious… 😀

@Daeus that… would be unnerving. 😛

@daeus Well, I don’t imagine the characters exactly like that. In fact, I have yet to see actors that look like my characters how I want them. XD Glad you like it. 🙂
@catwing It’s just an expression!
@corissa-maiden-of-praise It’s my precioussss. After I’m done editing this draft, and possibly the second…well, whenever it’s opened to…[Read more]

Ok, @daeus @catwing @daughteroftheking @that_writer_girl_99 @dragon-snapper I have progress! Which of these is better?

@daeus I humbly request to be tagged as well. Or not so humbly. Whatever gets me tagged. 😉

@daeus Okay, thanks! Can’t wait!

@daeus, if you give me a copy of your book, I’d give you a review on Amazon (where I’m guessing it’s published/is going to be published).

I’m guessing that you don’t need any more beta-readers for it, but I would still really like to read it!

Those are really helpful thoughts @daeus. If you ever wanted to do a full article detailing what you learned from your self-publishing experience, I think that would be a pretty helpful article premise.

@livylynn I’m still working on bringing my works to publication, but when I do, my plan is to try and pursue both options at once, since I think…[Read more]
