    What Are You Playing Now?

    I've made my way to the second boss in the game, Vordt. On the first attempt I took him to the second phase, not bad at all.

    Writing wins!

    Nothing special to share, but good work on getting eleven chapters done!

    What Are You Playing Now?

    After a little leveling and upgrading my weapon I've conquered the knight before me! And I knocked down his friend a bit later as well. Thus more progress in Dark Souls 3!

    What Are You Playing Now?

    So far everything has been great, including me springing a nasty surprise fight for myself in the very opening parts of the game. I wasn't ready for it, but it was gloriously Dark Souls! :D I definitely recommend getting it. I dare say that so far it deserves its cult status.

    Dark Souls 3! Made my way into Lothric and past two wyverns. Now I just need to fight my way past some thug of a knight blocking my way.

    What Are You Playing Now?

    Played through the very short demo of Veterans: The Napoleonic Wars. Pretty fun as its a spiritual successor to the Ultimate General: Civil War game which I really liked. Hopefully Veterans will be as good as UG was.

    Any Chance you can do a Self Insert Main character without....

    I think you can but you need to be aware of your flaws and strengths and maybe do some self-reflection first.

    Worldbuilding without a story?

    Since I love creative projects I like world building without a clear story in mind. Sometimes one pops up or I get ideas that I can use elsewhere later on in another part, like for a story.

    Changing the MC's name after a couple of chapters?

    I don't think it will confuse the reader if we can follow this development in the story so that we know before chapter seven that she has adopted the name of Mielli.

    Yeah, I should probably check it out.

    Most recent books you bought.

    Somewhat correct. I would personally translate it as "My Swedish history told for the people"

    Most recent books you bought.

    I've made the final purchase of the year. Hopefully I won't buy any more books until Spring next year. What I bought was The Splintered Sun by Tad William, recently released. The Night Lords Omnibus by Aaron Dembski-Bowden, because I've heard its very good and a bad guy perspective story can...

    How Epic Fantasy Writes So Many Characters at Once

    I love reading about huge casts of characters. I've read fantasy which are more slimmed down and streamlined in regards to world building and characters. The slimmed down and streamlined ones didn't engage with me and I felt myself wondering why there was so much empty space in the world and...

    How Is Your World Like?

    To be honest I haven't watch the TV series. When I wrote "Game of Thrones" I made a reference to "A Song of Ice and Fire", which is the book series. Just to be clear and I realize I probably expressed myself badly. Anyway. while I agree that Asoiaf/GoT vers a bit too much into the darkness I...
