@Dekreel I’ve only seen seasons 2, 3, and half of season 4 of the reboot, so I’ve only ever known Ten. XD I’ll let you know which is my favorite though once I meet some more. 😛 This also means I haven’t seen any of the older seasons. Where do you watch them typically? To be honest, I wasn’t sure if it was even possible to watch the older ones.…[Read more]

@allison-grace @emily @ingridrd @daeus @catwing @epicaddie2 Baring unforeseen circumstances such as dog or something else, I’m writing for the next hourish.

@Daeus Soooooo, funny thing. XD We actually had to cancel the camping trip because the weather hereabouts is icky, so if you still need another beta reader, I’m available. If you have enough though, no problem. 😉

I love Audiomachine music. @emily TREE OF LIFE!!! *dies* So beautiful!

Although I think one song that I really think is inspiring is by Enya, The River Sings. I love that one…very hero-returns-from-journey-ish.

For my upcoming WIP, I find that Stained Glass by Jon Guerra is perfect. It’s basically for his character arc.

Hiya, @epicaddie2! My favorite character in the Wingfeather Saga is Janner. I like Kalmar and Artham a lot, too. Ikr, the last book! I cried both times I read it. I totally agree, Peterson is awesome. Have you heard his music. He writes really good music, too, and his voice is awesome.

@ingridrd I love listening to soundtracks – they often remind me of my daydreamed stories. It’s awesome. Have you heard the song “Shells” from the Finding Dory movie. It’s the song that’s playing when Dory (SPOILER ALERT!!!) reunites with her parents. When I hear that song, I also think of reunion or reconciliation.

@emily So yeah I would highly…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Yep. I would also direct you here: https://kingdompen.org/category/articles/worldbuilding/

@epicaddie2 I’m working through this myself at the moment, but I do have one or two things to say.

First, you want to develop your world well before you start writing. Sure, you should only spend so much time building your story world. You have to start eventually, but spending a whole month world building would not be unreasonable. A good…[Read more]

@Ingridrd millions.

Okay, maybe not millions… ;P But practically every piece of music I hear reminds me of something or someone somewhere. This is one of my favorites, for the brother (king) of my current MC.

*moans petulantly* Why are there no Floridian KeePers?

@That_Writer_Girl_99 😂 😂 😂

What can I say? I learned from the best. 😉 @kate-flournoy

@That_Writer_Girl_99 a girl after my own heart. 😉

My thoughts exactly @kate-flournoy. That, to me, makes it one of the most interesting aspects of world-building.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 good thoughts. I played around a lot with government and where it fits in, but it was so equally part of all four of the pillars I couldn’t bring myself to make it its own separate one. 😛
It’s probably the most perfect manifestation of a country’s EiL within itself, whereas Economy is a further exploration of that outside of…[Read more]

*grins* *offers her advice even though she wasn’t tagged* @kate-flournoy and I have actually discussed this a lot recently, because my new WIP has a huge world–actually, two worlds, each with very different takes on the four pillars she mentioned.

1. History
2. Religion
3. Geography
4. Economy

If I could squeeze in a fifth one, though, I’d add…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Ooooh I was talking about this a while back… let me go copy and paste my emails… XD

It’s a fairly simple thing, but once you delve into it there’s a lot to work with.
Basically, I came up with four pillars I think every culture is built on.

1. History
2. Religion
3. Geography
4. Economy

In that order. History and Religion…

*grins* @salome01w4g I’m glad you’re safe, love. You’re in my prayers.

@jadamae Great! Just contact me through the link I posted earlier and I’ll get it to you.

@salome01w4g The google doc would be fine.
