I’m working on book 5 of my series, and I’ve been weaving a few different levels of conflict into one particular arc. Which has ended up in me creating 3 different villains. Of course, one of those villains is the über-villain who controls the other two. And I plan for one of the lesser villains to be secretly…[Read more]

WOW. I have grossly underestimated my initial side idea! Thanks for the perspective! Now, off to measure how long 262 feet would look like…

Once again, thanks for the help!

What do you guys think of this idea—a 600 foot dragon?

Does this sound too large? And if so, what size would you recommend (above 300 feet at least)?

I’m working on editing a short story I wrote awhile ago. It is a fantasy allegory, but it’s rather simplistic. The overall theme of the story is redemption, and I’m trying to figure out some new angle to address this topic from—something unique.

Any ideas for some…[Read more]

I love writing tragic backstories into characters, and it can sometimes be tricky to figure out how to portray them realistically without seeming forced. The example with the shoemaker and the King was particularly awesome! I would definitely read that book or short story!

Ha! Love “Confound it!” One of my characters from my book series yells that out all the time, and it’s become a running family joke in my house. 🙂

I guess what I was aiming at with the mention of “reveling” in swear words is this:

It might be easier for a nonbeliever to look at occasional (and perhaps even necessary) cussing…[Read more]

Thank you for your response! I do think that tricky subjects often require a bit of hashing out to fully understand and utilize to their best extent.

Before I address anything, I would like to point out how no writer should violate their conscience! If something does not sit well with you, don’t do it. It is better to abstain…[Read more]
