Hi! As I mentioned, by current work in progress is called The Dawning Age, and it’s a fantasy allegory. I’m expecting it will be done before the end of summer.
I occasionally dabble with Lego, though not in a while. I also enjoy making fantasy maps.

valtmy replied to the topic Creating New And Relatable Heroines in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years ago
If your characters are falling into the same patterns, perhaps you can try switching up the traits? Maybe a character can be extroverted, feminine and ambitious all at once, which I think is not a combination often seen among female leads. You can also try flipping things up and seeing how all these traits would play out if the…[Read more]

@seekjustice I read a New York Times article by Brit Marling that really shed some light on realistic female characters. There’s a lot of great advice and things to consider in here. Good luck!

@seekjustice Oooh. . *rubs hands* I love atypical character types.
This is partly just me, but I like seeing male characters that are feeling types. (I love my INFP boi don’t anyone dare touch him except to hug him.) *cough* But yes, seeing more guy characters that feel deeply would be lovely! A teen guy devoted to his baby sister and who loves…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb replied to the topic The Songkiller’s Synopsis!!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 1 month ago
Dilemma: I’ve got conflicting feedback on my blurb. Some say I should change it, others that I shouldn’t.
I’m in search of opinionated people to help clear me out of this muddle.
Here’s what I had:
In the beginning, the Songkiller sang chaos into the fabric of the world. Now, he’s returning to finish his dark symphony…

@seekjustice Eeey, I’ve got a deaf character in my WIP! It’s fantasy, so he can’t truly use ASL. 😛
I’m also afraid one of my children might have PTSD. *gives the poor boi a hug*
But yeah, I think it’s important to make sure that the diversity in a book you write isn’t forced. Otherwise, you might just end up with some eye rolls. But definitely…[Read more]

Thanks. I’ve always wanted to write it all out, but I’m just not really sure how to go about it. I’ve written parts of it, and you’re right it did really help.
