No worries, we all have lives, I knew you would get around to it eventually.
Those are excellent points. Things like dragons specifically might drag on the story’s ability to distinguish from other stories (pun almost unintended🤦♂️). Dragons are a unique case I think though, they can be unoriginal, but they have a timeless…[Read more]

Hmm, so my worldbuilding is pretty solid, and very real for me, because I literally have places based off of real things. For example, I have an underground trade city in the Nevari Desert that is directly based off of Derinkuyu, Cappadocia. I have a whole tribe that has ties to the Basotho, geographically, and culturally, and I…

I would love to tour Europe sometime! I’ve seen a little bit of England when I went with my parents to visit some missionaries in Wales a couple years back, but my ancestors are from Switzerland so it would be fun to go there. And I took French so I’d love to go to France, too.

A hard vs. soft magic system relates to how well defined the rules are. I’ll try to give some examples.
If you’ve read the Lord of the Rings, that would be a soft magic system. We don’t understand how it works really.
A hard magic system is one that the readers understand well. I can’t think of a good example that you’ve…[Read more]

Cool! Fantasy is definitely my favorite too. What exactly do you mean by “fiction”? Wouldn’t any sort of novel be fiction, as opposed to nonfiction?
That lunar magic system sounds cool! Would you say it’s a hard magic system or more soft?

I agree.
Same, I’ve been writing since then too (or around that time anyway).
I see. 🙃

Ooh, okay, awesome! It sounds pretty cool, I would love to hear about the plot if you want to share it! Is it fantasy?
