Inspirational Music for Writing?
Music usually helps me focus. Of course, one potential downside is that the music might influence what you're writing when you don't want it to. So one ought be mindful of that. I would say that I brainstorm best when I listen to music.- Fox

College Thoughts
So to be transparent, the idea I'm working on is very important to me because of a personal connection with my own experience. I was inspired in part by Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy"; I am seeking to do something similar, but mental health related. Projecting the inner mental landscape into... -
College Thoughts
Thank-you everyone for the advice. :) I am confident in my writing abilities. It's my *storytelling* ability that makes me suffer. Unfortunately, I think the terms "writing" and "storytelling" can get mixed-up. Sometimes we'll say: this is what makes for good writing. Then we'll actually talk... -

College Thoughts
I first want to apologize if I've hijacked the thread! Didn't mean to make it about me. But yeah, primarily this has been an issue with my fiction writing, but not so much with other writing. And yes, overcoming this issue is something that will come from within me, as I've pretty much come full... -
Why Fantasy Avoids Gunpowder
Good write-up. It's generally why I don't study anything after WWII in terms of warfare. As insensitive as it is to say, I don't find it interesting. In most cases for me, large-scale battles tend to not make any sense when there are nuclear bombs, futuristic rail guns, you can get sniped by a...- Fox

College Thoughts
Thanks for this. A lot of what you say makes sense; I've long wished that I had some kind of mentor, like "With Hemingway" by Arnold Samuelson. I suppose one nice thing is that we can get such advice from public interviews, or from books such as Stephen King's "On Writing". This decently... -
Adventures of a Fox
For years I have wandered these vast, wild lands, praying at shrines for Her power and grace. A Darkness hounds me, haunts me, hunts me as I search for meaning in this world; meaning that the Darkness wants to remain hidden. In shape-shifting labyrinthine libraries I have scoured shelves of...- Fox

Thank-you Lee. I believe now I've fulfilled the requirements, so soon I hope to have some good critique to share, and some work of my own to offer.- Fox

College Thoughts
Neither here nor there I suppose, but my university experience has been one of ideological conformity. This isn't to say there isn't also variety to be found, but the initial variety tends to end in a point of a certain persuasion / worldview. I'm sure others, such as yourself, in different... -
College Thoughts
I thought about my own university's writing program certificate, but meh, I don't know. I suppose at the very least it could force me to write... But at that point maybe I could just light a fuse that leads to a barrel full of $2000. -
What can be done about this sort of thing?
srebak I'm not going to take a side on the very politics that made me jaded, bitter, and lonely. The only benefit I've ever gained from its discussion is frustration and misanthropy. If you're looking to constantly talk past people, sift through people's accidental or disingenuous... -
Magical Olympics - Winter
Perhaps something like who can keep themselves warm in negative(?) celsius weather using fire magic. Or maybe using any kind of magic, opening the door for more possibilities. It could be a test of creativity as much as mana endurance.
