    Damn, emotional scenes are hard to write

    I tend to take a somewhat different approach. I know a rough feel for the start of a scene and I know a rough end for the scene, these can change if I get a better idea along the way, but that's generally how I work. I've got some sense of the event I want to portray and then I just let my...

    Damn, emotional scenes are hard to write

    Anybody want to commiserate on this? I just finished up a scene that deals with a lot of emotional stuff. It's easier to write emotional stuff than it was in the past, but still, damn it can be hard going. Do you have the same difficulty writing emotional scenes or do they just flow out of...

    I need idea help

    I thought the second one was fire. Or are there two? Something else stands out now. The overlapping circles give an impression of depth that the other designs didn't.

    I need idea help

    I think the problem might be the coloring of the last one. The third has the same issue to some extent. Number one and two have natural colors. Greens (plants), oranges, yellows (fire). The other two and especially the last one have a lot more white and even black. The lines are also a lot more...

    Siege logistics

    When I do research on any topic for a fantasy world, I like to read ancient sources from all kinds of cultures. If you can find them of course. I haven't read the one I'm linking in this comment, but I certainly plan to when I get to a story that deal with siegecraft...

    The curse of the creative mind

    The chapter that this weekend will be part of comes after she's confronted a big chunk of her past. Dealing with it has absorbed much of her recent life and this prank war would be part of reintroducing her into dealing with people and having friends, something she didn't really have in the...

    The curse of the creative mind

    That's too bad, seeing all that planning go to waste. It would've been a nice one.

    The curse of the creative mind

    I'm in a bit of a situation. I'm writing in a modern setting, and I need to integrate a girl with a rocky past into a group of friends that can get quite rowdy, but in a sophisticated and fun way. Banter instead of brawling. That kind of thing. So I was looking around for ways this could...

    I need idea help

    Yeah, I thought about that too. There are different shades and types of stone you can use though.

The point I'm trying to make is: If you want to make it look like it's engraved in rock, why not have an actual rock on the...

    cross the irredeemable moral line?

    I don't know if you've ever seen the anime called Trigun (http://myanimelist.net/anime/6/Trigun). It's quite old, but this statistic: Score: 8.341 (scored by 115195 users), mathemically proves that it's good. If so many people vote and say that it's good, then it just is. The story is about a...

    Kinship- how complex are your worlds' cultures?

    Hmm, I don't go into depth about lineage either in my stories. I like the model that's followed in the Black Company and books like it, where men and women are treated more or less equal. Not completely, but talented women do have possibilities in the army and in trade etc. I know there are...

    Random thoughts

    Did you know it's impossible to legally adopt someone less than 15 years younger than yourself? At least in my country it is. So a 28 year old can't adopt a 13 year old or older. Granted, he'd have to be a father at 15 to make the 13 year old himself, but what if a 28 year old gets together with...
