    How do you feel about a 'Chosen One'?

    Or you can have a chosen one with sh*t to do... Forgot that one. *genuine grin*

    How do you feel about a 'Chosen One'?

    Erm, so. You can have a chosen one who accepts the call. Like an egomaniac. Or. You can have a chosen one who denies the call (not getting into the thrice denied then giving in here). Like an egomaniac. Or. You can have a chosen one who says, "Pardon?" Sorry :D

    Holding a full-time job while trying to be a writer

    Idea wise, anyway :D

    Holding a full-time job while trying to be a writer

    Glass sword

    A glass sword I have problems with. And the South American 'swords' were actually obsidian spiked clubs. But, if you have the ability to 'cast' glass, well a sling full of shards would probably pierce anything short of power armour, and if poison was involved... Yikes...

    Criticizing the Published

    Yikes, Russ, you were only missing an 'Ooh-rah' in that long, poisonous and ultimately belittling rant there. Go exceptionalism! No, seriously, if you write 'for the the big bucks' (ergh) and you play by the rules you have made obvious (can't effect the market, but show me a good enough yarn I...

    Criticizing the Published

    I'm sort of on the fence a touch. Yes, you can say that people have got fat off poorly written (more often poorly edited) works that you yourself (being an artist) would never let the light of fandom see. Fair enough. Fairly free world, and all. But sometimes, oh, my, bites lip, my inner...

    Starting with an epic: is it even doable?

    Hello! Just a reader here, can you word jugglers please try not to sell me a fifteen volume shelf shatterer when you spend all your joy in the first half of the first hernia inflicting tome? Thankyou!

    Do you care about Psychology?

    Sorry, Two-way, I didn't mean that to sound nasty, but the way you phrased that made it seem that 'the average person' couldn't possibly understand what you said. Personally, I re-read it and -did- understand what you meant. However, it did read awkwardly (Bad phrasing there, but you know what...
