    Excerpt from Chapter Three in "Delwyn of the Realms"

    Standing there in the clearing, facing the dark building, she felt as though time was standing still and that she was at a crossroads. Even though she had made the decision to come out that night and go back to the mirror, it was as though someone or something had made up her mind for her. She...

    Writing tips that stuck with you

    I'd like to echo Terry Greer and the cold embrace, by saying that worrying over every sentence or paragraph - in essence, trying to review and edit as you go, slows the whole process down and stems the flow of writing itself. I believe in the stream of consciousness of free flowing writing, as I...

    Crafting a unique pantheon

    I am currently using deities from a variety of pantheons in the sequel to my first novel - and had the same kinds of questions you posted here.

    "Delwyn of the Realms" - First chapter (partial) - Fourth Draft

    Advice on advice

    I think that another good point to make is that advice is based on the opinion of the advice-giver. I am also on Book Country and happy to be there. I've received great advice and feedback, which has helped with honing my work and correcting punctuation errors. The main problem I find - there as...

    Need help coming up with a term for a magical occupation.

    If someone were to ask me - or if I was writing a story along those lines - I would probably call the person who maintains the magic mirror - a Mirtech, or Portal Division Coordinator or Portal operations?
