    How to Fool an Empath?

    If they're an empath, not a mindreader, all the villain has to do is come up with an excuse for why he is feeling any particular alarming emotion. Memories can trigger emotions - sometimes just an "I don't know" is enough. This would only work if the character is not intended as faking some sort...

    End of an Era!

    I really don't see a difference between my keyboard and a typewriter. Am i missing something? The typewriter style with the ink spool strikes me as a messy and inelegant solution to just pen and paper, which I do often use. We see this mental block in the painting community too, where people...

    How did you discover Mythic Scribes?

    Writing "About the Author"

    Map Dragon you will probably laugh but I actually considered adopting a pet just so I could say something interesting but non-personal everyone could relate to in it :P I love animals, but I can't even afford to feed a gecko right now probably (which is why I just have fake ones hanging on my...

    Occult Artist - Interested in Process

    The tarot is pretty complex, actually, although we're trying our best to accommodate all levels of tarot expertise, there are parts where the explanations will get pretty dry, although hopefully we'll be able to balance the book out with some fun mythology and really help people come to a new...

    How to Handle Accents

    I actually enjoy it if it is not overdone. I can't find any works of Maya Angelou online to quote, but I remember her using misspelling and incorrect grammar to indicate the southern dialect. Language changes so much I think it is valuable in a historic work to have this preserved, so that we...

    Using names of people you know

    I think this is a great idea. As an illustrator I have to admit on the current project I have the severed heads at the feet of a warrior princess. They are all portraits of people who tried to thwart me in various petty ways! It is great therapy and nobody will ever know - they are not...

    Occult Artist - Interested in Process

    Hi I am an illustrator who is interested in learning more about professional fantasy storytelling. I am at the start of a big project which tells a tale through the use of the graphic novel medium. It will be a while before it is done. I am also the illustrator for a tarot project being released...
