Welcome to the mythic scribes. I hope this community helps you to grow. I am the resident Pariah, C.T. McEvilPants. Education is never out of your control. Grab a book, grab a dictionary and read like crazy. Your vocabulary will grow. Your ability to read and absorb will grow. Far too often...

I love that movie. I absolutely do.

I start with materials available, religious practices, economic system, gender/race/class issues, technologies available, inclement weather/seasonal patterns. For instance. The entire society lives in houses made of something like flat bamboo. They worship a sun god, the priests are a dime a...

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your...

It's a famous quote Ravana, This is somewhat true, but only covers a certain spectrum of literature, and a narrow one at that. In regard to Sci Fi and Fantasy there are also the greats that it seems every sci fi and fantasy junkie alive has read. At this stage of the game guys like Tolkien and...

It is a rare day that my praise exceeds something like, "eyup" or "kinda cool". Greatest is a matter of taste. While Dune is great story, and Herbert an excellent writer I personally don't know that I'd call it the greatest. I definitely don't judge the book by its movie, however in the book...

Andre hadn't even crossed my mind. Sweet.

..there is no other. Well I disagree. What would you say are the two great scifi writers dividing the contemporary world? Fantasy Writers? My vote would have to be for Asimov and H.G. Wells on the SciFi side. *neither one of which I particularly claim as a favorite. In fantasy it would...

When it comes to that sort of fantasy I think Salvatore gets down much better, plus he writes like 7 full on novels every month it seems. lmao

The Black Trillium. The Wayfarer Redemption series. The Sword of Shannara and so on. The Legend of Drizzit (don't judge me!) I am going to give due homage to Beowulf here, cause I like it. Then again, Dune was kind of cool. DAMN YOU FIVE ITEM LIST!

The assumption that females of our species are somehow that much different than the males, unblemishable in a sense, may be where you are going wrong. Being a (presumably) western woman, your interpretation of the females in books is probably skewed inexorably toward the positive. Men bad...

In spite of the fact that I have nearly 6 years of education on the matter under my belt, I am going to go ahead and quote, then link to a fairly decent internet article on the subject. This is taken from, here , and is about as solid as you're going to get without actually taking abnormal...

The differences clinically and otherwise aren't as well defined, black and white as one might imagine. In terms of potential to impact however, I would be more leery of a psychopath as one commonly (but not universally)accepted difference is that sociopaths are socially inept and would be...

You see, this is exactly why I say Voldemort should have had a top hat, especially given his lack of nose.

I watched a documentary of Nazi collaborators last night. True inspiration in terms of what Evil looks like. Vidkun Quisling seems to have been at least as evil as hitler himself, just not as forthright in admitting it.
