    Edge of Heaven and Hell - Chapter 4 (Part 2)

    When we were back inside, Morgan and Annette sat down on his bed with a deck of cards, playing poker, blackjack and all sorts of card games while I sat on my bed surrounded by maps. Unfortunately there weren't any maps of Panaethene itself but there were plenty that led up to the demon...

    Edge of Heaven and Hell - Chapter 4 (Part 1)

    Our room on the ship was very cosy, definitely like nothing I had ever experience before. The mattress on my bed was fluffy and soft and I sank down quite a bit when I first sat on it. Morgan had stretched out on his bed and immediately went to sleep, pulling his cap down over his face to block...

    Edge of Heaven and Hell - Chapter 3 (Part 2)

    Thankfully, my sleep was peaceful and undisturbed, but when I woke up the next morning I found myself now on my other side facing Morgan, who was still fast asleep. His sleep however looked like it had been anything but peaceful. His face was scrunched up slightly, as if he were having a...

    Edge of Heaven and Hell - Chapter 3 (Part 1)

    Annette arrived back at the manor house about an hour after Morgan had left. I'd been asleep in the armchair in her room when she'd returned, as I hadn't gotten much sleep the past few days and the news that my home town would be taken over by General Andreas had genuinely made me feel ill...

    Where do you get your inspiration or ideas from?

    Personally, I get the majority of my ideas from dreams I've had the night before or aspects of dreams from ages ago that I can remember and can actually be bothered to write down somewhere. But I was also wondering how anyone else gets their ideas?

    Redrafts

    A friend and I have started our second draft of a book we're writing together and I was wondering how many drafts people tend to write before they're pleased with the entire thing? I'm certain we'll write a third and probably a fourth, but is there a general number of drafts people stick to or...

    Do you create a backstory for your characters?

    For main characters, all the time. Sometimes I find that writing the backstory for a character can be just as fun as writing the main story itself. Also I find that if a character doesn't have some form of backstory that shows how they can be even vaguely relevant to a plot then I don't really...

    Edge of Heaven and Hell - Chapter 2

    We walked silently through the town, slowly to allow me to get a good look at what everything was like. Everything was so different to Orllandris, and it was clear to see just how different and strict their society was. Even with Miss Annette walking with me, I was still met with disapproving...

    Runic Alpahbets

    I'd like to have one of my characters be able to read and use a runic alphabet and I know that there are several of them, but I'm not quite sure which one I should use. Does anyone have any suggestions for ones they may have used?

    Your Top 10 Favorite Shows Of All Time?

    The Walking Dead Red Dwarf QI Mock the Week ...I don't really watch TV anymore. Most of my time is spent either drawing, roleplaying on deviantART or doing the dreaded homework for A-Levels. And whatever I do watch I don't really watch properly because I stick it on in the background

    Edge of Heaven and Hell - Chapter 1

    Liandri stood at the edge of town, a gentle breeze lifting her long dark main and my cloak. My wrists began to itch again, worse than the last time, urging me to click my tongue and get Liandri moving again. The town of Bristine was bustling, the women all wore bright colourful dresses with...

    Myth versus History

    I personally love mythology and most of my stories have some kind of mythological aspect to it, such as ancient beasts who had been in slumber or some kind of deity. But perhaps for this, you could have so that when the Goddess is cast out, her body is split up into actual moon rocks and she is...

    Getting bored of gaming..help?

    Personally, I haven't played many "new" games besides Pokemon, Mario and Twilight Princess. My personal console of choice forever will probably my PS2 because it was the first console I ever got. Currently, I'm playing through The Legend of Spyro series because I've only played the first one...

    Using a Pen Name

    If anything I write in the future ever gets published, I am using a different name, mostly because I don't like my actual name. And unless I can think of anything better in the future, said name is going to be my nickname and my mother's last name, because her last name seems more exotic and...
