Is the Peleg Chronicles the Black Cauldron series, or is my mind messing with me?

I’m getting lost…

Wait…would you say it’s wrong to have cannibals in a story?

I am an /excellent/ psychologist. And marriage counselor on the side.

That’s very considerate of you lady Knat.

Very well. Your nickname is now Knat.

You’re oh so very welcome.

The original vampire story, as far as I know, is Dracula by Bram Stoker.

…Who in turn took it from a historical character “Vlad the Impaler”. I forget where he lived…somewhere near or in Russia. That kinda area. (Y’know…his name /is/ Vlad.) He was a real guy though. And I’m fairly certain (though we never could know for sure) he’s about…[Read more]

Make the mystery a subplot, tie it into something a villain or antagonist has done, and make it maybe a motivation for an ally to figure out so that your allies (if they don’t already) actually have purpose for following the hero, and aren’t just along for the ride.

Or use backspace.

It is a personal problem Nat.

Maybe I can find you a psychiatrist?

Two heads are better than one. So if you would consent to act my logic police I would be grateful.

This is like, the best thing anyone has ever told me.

And I get what you said about something being a sin for one and not for another. Really I do. But as writers, what do we take away from that? What is the lesson? When our works are out in…

I’m a moose.

You didn’t mention the moose.

I’m highly offended.

If I understood correctly you are saying I’m trying to take things that have no Biblical support and act like they do? Believe me that is not my intention. As I have said, I’m not here to change your mind or even condemn your opinion I’m only here to state mine.

But please, let’s just put all logic aside for a moment. The Bible does not actuall…

I realize this sounds crazy, and you don’t have to believe it. But at least consider this- what reason is there to include such a dark, icky theme in your writing? Think of the potential for harm. I have a young friend who is obsessed with vampires, and I am determined that I will never write anything that would draw someone like her deeper i…

However, I believe that dealing with such things opens a door to demons in your life. I have found an article that discusses the subject a bit.

This I wanted to deal with in a separate post, because it (kinda) touches a nerve. (Not really…few things do. But it comes close.) (Again, I ain’t mad. But still…it needs mentioning.)

OK, now, I…[Read more]

I cannot honestly point to a place in the Bible where it’s says vampires and zombies are wrong because to my knowledge there is no such thing mentioned in the Bible. However, I believe that dealing with such things opens a door to demons in your life. I have found an article that discusses the subject a b…

I am by no means an expert, or even an adept at anything romance. Therefore I don’t write it.

However, I do have a couple thoughts on why it sucks. (Not having read the topic, cuz hundreds of long posts…maybe I’m repeating someone. That someone is probably an awesome person.)

1. Romance in books sucks because there are people like me who are…[Read more]

INTPs are intelecjewel smartz peepz.

C’mon y’all, get your somethin’ on Imma saying something (now that my soapbox has been repaired). It’ll probably be incoherent, even I only really understand my thoughts while they’re in my head. So stay chill. Imma gonna try and make this interesting. (Please bear with it, the only hope you have of understanding it is reading the whole thing.…[Read more]
