@j-a-penrose HAHA I actually have no idea what sub genre of fantasy I write. I don’t even know what half of them mean. Is there a list somewhere that explains what elements are in each? What type do you write?
Honestly, I don’t know what the significance of the sunrise either, but you’ve planted the idea so now I’ll have to come up with something. 😛 (There, I’ve let you in on my world building technique. 1. Figure out that something is important. 2. Figure out why it’s important. 3. Figure out how it relates to the key elements. No crazy worksheets for me. ;))
I’ll think on how I can incorporate it into Lotro’s emotions and see if I can make their conversation less obvious. I suspected there was a bit too much information, but it’s hard for me to tell since I understand exactly what happened. That’s a problem I’ve been having since I started writing fantasy. There’s so much about my world that’s completely different, so trying to decide what information needs to be explained right away, what can be explained later, and what can remain intrigue is difficult. This is exactly the exercise I needed. SO YAY!
