    Floating Oceans (a Worldbuilding Brainstorm Based on Floating Islands)

    What you described is similar to a 'strong theoretical possibility' proposed for exo-planets - aka 'water worlds' - planets that are spherical masses of water, albeit super compressed at the core. Floating 'islands' of solid material may be possible.

    Fun with Scammers!

    Facebook is infested with these scammers. One either hacked or impersonated a best-selling author. like this one, though, that scammer had a messed-up profile. Many FB book sites ban promoters altogether, sometimes extending that ban to include anything 'fiver.' For that matter, most of the...

    Colorful "normal" characters?

    Even the 'normal' characters should have quirks or issues that set them apart from the norm.

    I must note that many of those publications appear to be dead and others are not currently accepting submissions.

    Apocalyptic tsunami dream!

    There is real-world precede for something like this in 'recent prehistoric times.' A tsunami in the Pacific badly damaged the coastal regions of Australia and South America - the waves were calculated to be 1000 feet tall and hurled gigantic boulders miles inland. This event was so traumatic...

    I wrote myself into a corner, how do I fix it?

    It is a library. Make it two books - one being the journal and the other the religious text.

    Writing about sex, intimacy and relationships

    I remember you describing and me commenting on your WIP a year or two ago. I suggested the bad buy might prefer to capture, rather than kill the heroine.

    Temporia (The land of seasons)

    I considered the classic permanent day/permanent night with the twilight ribbon between the two - but then I realized that Venus in our Solar system is tidally locked, yet still rotates, albeit very slowly. So, there is a real-world example. It is worth pointing out that the planet's orbit is...

    Temporia (The land of seasons)

    I created a world something like this for Lovecraftian short stories. The 'Eldritch World' - I need to come up with a proper name - is tidally locked to its primary, yet still rotates on its axis, which has a seventy-degree tilt. North of +30, the sun never sets, and the terrain includes...
