I start with the plot then I write out characters then I make a map.

I know some people didn't like them, that's fine, everyone has an opinion. I don't like it when some pompous critic thinks that their opinion is right and if any person liked it, they are just stupid. It's like when someone claims they hated Phantom Menace but watch it with the other Star Wars...

Thanks

I'm trying to think of some other races to use other than the normal ones that are in most fantasy books, i.e. Elves, Dwarves or fairies? I know I will be using mermaids only I'm going to call them something else. If you can help with any other obscure but recognizable beings, please let me...

I just spent this week watching all 6 films for the first time in years. I saw scenes I didn't remember. I forgot how much I loved these movies. I hope the new series coming to Prime will be good. I will need to watch these again sooner and not wait 5 or 6 years to watch them again.

I used to use it but I now prefer to make my maps in Photoshop. I've found a lot of brushes for fantasy maps.

G.R.R. Martin does this in the Song of Ice and Fire novels (Game of Thrones) each chapter is written from the POV of one character then it will switch to another character in the next.

I'd also recommend Profantasy, I use Campaign Cartographer for my maps. Now I am also learning to use Photoshop to make maps, you can get dozens of free brushes online.

Unfortunately, I don't have HBO, I have to wait to see GOT when it comes out on blu ray but I have seen the trailer and it does look interesting but I think seeing depressed people every week could get old. I'll give it a chance when Netflix gets the first season.

I love Game of Thrones, I think HBO has done a great job translating the novels into a series and I think that the same could be done with Wheel of Time. I think there would be too much story to make WOT into a movie. What does everyone think, would Wheel of Time make a good series or movie?

Thanks, I'll have to get that.

I've never heard of The Mythic Guide to Characters, where did you buy that? As for software, I use Snowflake, it does a good job. There is also New Novelist.

The weirdest was when I was doing research for a character who has different sexual fetish's. I was reading on some and could not believe what some people are into! There are men who actually enjoy pooping and peeing in their pants! Some like to dress like babies and wear diapers and others just...

Not me, the puppet Yoda looks like a puppet the CGI version looked real. As for the prequels, 1 was terrible. A little boy (Jake Lloyd was a terrible actor) flew a fighter into space and destroys a trade federation vessel was just dumb. They should have had Annakin as just a minor character to...

I'm not sure agree with the OP link, especially this I've read a lot of good self published books, I am probably going to self publish my novel. I have a friend, Steven Saylor who writes great historical fiction and he publishes the tradition way, he said that it is so hard to get a book deal...
