    Scene Killer Challenge

    Assassin's Creed: Black Flag was fun but the gameplay got a little repetitive. You decide to stop procrastinating and work on your WIP instead of finishing the game. I want to see the hero defeat evil but become evil in the process.

    Recovering a Lost Muse

    I lost my muse and I can't seem to write without recovering her! To clarify, let me give you a little backstory. I had a dream a week ago about a girl I used to know years and years back, someone I haven't spoken to since 2009. The dream started with our real-life history (which was just...

    What's your OLL/Screnzy/NaNo username?

    I'm JamesComstock over there.

    NaNo Progress

    I hit 2220 at my 'midnight kickoff' and intend another 2k for today. Completely flying by the seat of my pants for this one so pretty soon I'm going to have to try outlining as well as writing but for now WHEEEEE!

    What is it about nano?

    Anihow, I think I might've met you somewhere in NaNo. I'm JamesComstock. Have a vague idea of what I'm doing for NaNo but it's not fully formed and I really like it so I'm worried about destroying it in my frenzy to make word count (which is what happened last year).

    Phil! We made a pact, you and I, and falling by the wayside is not acceptable. Pull yourself together man! :p

    How did you discover Mythic Scribes?

    I searched "fantasy forum" on Google. Top result, as I recall

    Naming Your Weapons

    In my initial forays into fantasy I thought naming weapons was great. As I read more fantasy I thought naming weapons was okay in the right circumstances, and now... The last fantasy book series I read, only one weapon was named in the whole thing--not the staff given to one of the adventurer's...

    Hunger Games

    I read the books on the suggestion of my sister (and afterwards read Battle Royale, so there). I thought the first and third book of the series were pretty good, although I'd probably still say the first book was my favorite of the series. Haven't seen the movie yet, but my friends who have said...

    Ticks, Fleas, and Wasps

    Does anyone have any good resources involving either ticks, fleas or wasps? I'm working on an idea involving giant versions of the aforementioned but I know little to nothing about their behavior or the actual mechanics behind what they do and why they do it. Google searches provide me with an...

    Power of Purity

    I like the idea of burning away 'impurities', especially with the unique form for evaluating 'purity' that you've given her. The only thing I can think of that would be a worthwhile addition to the vector would be treating 'burning away the impurities' a little more like you would treat...

    Dear Drill: Advice Column

    Dear Drill, I want to make money from home. All I've really got for talents are writing and my dashing good looks (which are actually mediocre). What should I do? Too Lazy to Want a 'Real' Job

    Kony 2012

    I neither support nor challenge the overall mission of Invisible Children or the ways in which they attempt to acheive their objectives. There is much debating about whether sending advisors to help a country's military is really a good idea, and both sides of the argument have valid points...

    Kony 2012

    KONY 2012 on Vimeo It's a long video, but worth it. For short attention spans, skip the first three minutes and fifty seconds.

    How much do you make self-publishing?

    Haha who would've thought a question about e-publishing would cause so much excitement!
