I recently started a research-based set of serial posts on my blog titled Remarkable Women from ancient China. I thought it might be relevant for the research forum over here. But looking at the set of blog posts that are already up, they seem to be in the format of Mythic Scribes exclusives. Is...

Hi, I've also worked on a project for 6 or 7 months and then eventually abandoned it so I understand. My advice/thoughts would be the following: 1. There is nothing wrong with ditching a work that you no longer feel passionate about. You still learnt valuable lessons from the exercise and the...

Yes, that's exactly that happens in Solider's Son, especially evident in book 2.

I'm not sure whether it will truly be so but I think an epic fantasy written in omniscient POV with multiple protagonists/MCs could work out to achieve the same thing as what you are aiming for. Just what I think though. Alternatively, this might be the realm of how your MC is not your...

I've spent almost 2 years outlining my WIP and am about to start draft 1 in October this year. It is to be book 1 of a fantasy series, I'm not sure about how many books will be in it but my current feelings is that it will be at least a trilogy.
