@toklaham-veruzia I’m sorry for taking an age to reply to you! Thank you–your reply is very helpful, especially as my one character has a negative arc.

@kristianne-hassman cool 🙂 maybe if I head up to Joburg one day we could meet.
And I’ll keep you in mind when my story is written

@claire-h Yep, I also love picking up books at a bargain. Some of my favorite places are second-hand bookshops. Or any kind of second-hand shop (which usually has books as well).
Your story sounds like it’s going to be fun! Memory wipes – you’re going to have a blast writing it! And yes, it is always difficult to know when to stop planning and when to start writing.
@Arindown hi! Thank you for the welcome!I’m currently between projects, but plan to start working on a fantasy story about a Storyteller who discovers that one of the nobles of the city she lives in is planning a coup. She has to choose between revealing him and risk her family being killed, or remaining silent and the city (and country) falling under his tyrannical rule.

@kristianne-hassman Thank you for the welcome! If you don’t mind my asking, which part of SA are you in? I’m in KZN 🙂
So I’m technically between projects at the moment. The one I’ve finished is for the back corner of the bottom drawer. I’m wanting to challenge myself to write a fantasy trilogy, and am planning to do the world-building and plotting etc. in the next couple of weeks. The basic plot-line at the moment is that a Storyteller discovers that one of the nobles of the city she lives in is planning a coup. She has to choose between revealing him and risk her family being killed, or remaining silent and the city (and country) falling under his tyrannical rule.
@sarahfi Yay! Someone else who also enjoys science 🙂 I tutor science to high school students as a living, but haven’t ventured in sci-fi because of all the details that go into making it believable. It’s not just a case of creating a really cool space ship, I also have to understand how the space ship works. I prefer fantasy since anything can happen and if I’m feeling lazy, I can just say “it’s magic” and I’m covered.
@claire-h Hi Claire, great to meet you 🙂 No, I haven’t yet read Dust, although I want to! My dilemma is I prefer physical copies of books, and here in SA it can take a looong time to get them. (I live in a town with only one bookshop, and that mostly stocks academic books). That’s ignoring the price tag. So I’ll probably wait a while before getting it.Wow, you do enjoy quite a few creative pursuits! That’s awesome! It’s always nice to have other creative pursuits besides writing, so that one has something they can work on when taking a break from writing.
Quick question … what are some of the best forums/topics to get involved in here? I’ve been looking around, but still feel really overwhelmed and lost and have no idea where to even begin.

Thanks for the welcome, @Zee 🙂 it’s good to see you here
@wingiby-iggiby, nice to meet you. I love South Africa, but that’s understandable when I admit to never having left South African soil. This is home. The people, the cultures, the land, it’s mine in a way that’s difficult to describe. “I am African, not because I was born in Africa, but because Africa was born in me” probably explains it the best.Herewith, maybe, you will rekindle hearts to the valor of old in a world that grows chill. ~Círdan
