How did you know I was after your heart? After all I did to keep it a secret.... dang. I've had no schooling in geography but I will often locate various resources online so that I can do things properly. Recently, I have been looking into air movement and how that affects the locations of forests a...

Call this going overboard but what I did was bought a globe, peeled off the picture of earth, primed it white, and drew my entire world onto it. That way, I can know how everything relates to everything else on a global scale. I also find that I can be a lot more accurate with placing mountain range...

One thing I see in those hateable villians is a modest introduction. They aren't anything special. The quality that makes them so darn hateable is when the hero is very very close to finishing them off, they escape and manage to take something small with them that the hero values, whether it be a pe...

Myself, I am a perfectionist. If I'm going to do something, I am going to do a good job. Example. I am working on a world that is steeped in over twenty thousand years of history. There are eight different races and I am writing the history and culture for each one. I am making the maps as geographi...

Kai looked up from his brooding and noticed that Midnight had moved to conversing with others. 'Don't be surprised', he thought to himself. 'You're not the most exciting company in the world.' He looked and noticed that Brizjien was still sitting at the table. She looked lost in thought. Kai cleared...
