A good mystery is a good mystery, so where there’s one to be found I’m always there. 😉

I’ll admit, I haven’t read many of the books… I got sort of sidetracked with Sanderson. I like all the the Robert Downey Jr. movies however(though, slight content warning on those – nothing too crude if I remember correctly but some language), and I love the…[Read more]

I kind of tend to just get a “feel” for a story, I guess. I might have some concept that’s been really on my mind and all of a sudden it blooms into a story(Sort of like my Hi-Fi WIP, which just began with the idea of war-time pen pals and the concept of accountability and loyalty.), or I get an image of a story I want to write.…[Read more]

@deeprun Well, the quadratic equation was originally “derived” in it’s basic form by Euclid, who lived at around 300 B.C.. Meanwhile, I can’t even begin to wrap my head around derivatives even with the wonderful tools we have(calculators, absolutely the best invention ever), in the 21st century. XD In the late 1700’s to early 1800’s, Thomas Young…[Read more]

I kind of tend to follow @deeprun‘s approach to magic – while I absolutely love a good story with a tasteful and fantastical magic system, I also love when magic doesn’t serves as the “deus ex machina” of every conflict. If ordinary old people(granted, smart people) could discover that light has velocity , or could look at a problem and derive t…[Read more]
