    @devastate-lasting Ah the curse of slow internet while editing…. I feel you. XD

    I get the whole boredom with high fantasy–I get really tired of it to. But there are some books that I just love buried in the pile of hopeless rejects. XD That’s one reason why I try to switch up my high fantasy WIPs… I’m a big fan of writing stories about consequences. Because in a world where people want to do whatever they like without any consequences or harm from their actions, I think it’s important to remind people that’s just not the way it works. So a lot of my fantasy is symbolic, or representative of what’s happening today. Plus, I don’t personally think any one person is solely good or evil. So I like to try and switch stereotypes up around anti-heroes, assassins, MCs, etc.

    Basically, one of my biggest goals in writing is remind people that we’re all human. Heroes in high fantasy are sometimes so darn epic that they don’t seem human. I like to change that. 😉

    Anyhow, rant over. Your duct tape story is awesome. I ought to try it out someday…. I just wonder what sad soul would volunteer themselves to be duct taped to a tree.

    And Tolkien is the best. Ever.
