Hmm maybe its the cracked moon because one of the gods got ticked off because it interfered with their watching of the planet and try to punch it out of orbit. Or maybe the natives tried to mine it for treasure and its cracked because of thier folly

Thanks, just something I pulled out of the air.

So far the weridest momemnt I have had is a dragon flew over and began attacking while I was swimming across a pond. I kept diving under everytime he attacked and would surface and pop him with arrow, spell or shout until he was dead. The dragon fell into the pond and sank I had to follow the...

For me its got to have the following: Good story, its got to hook me and may me care about the characters and what I am doing makes a difference. One of the reasons I finished Diablo 2 and the expansion was I cared less about the game but I wanted to know the ending to the story. Mass Effect is...

How does the race(s) on the planet feel about the moons if they are heavenly bodies full of mytersty then I would go with deity or exotic names like Grey Watcher, Bookai the cracked Moon. Otherwise they probably have mundane names (we have no special name for our moon)

I like the turning colors and the turning colors could be that the Earth may never move but doesn't mean other things are not moving and partially or wholly coming between them and the sun (which explains the colors). Otherwise they are always hourglasses but colors would be nice.. I can see it...

You are not wrong, the reason I do it is not so much for the reader. But if I design something or introduce a concept in my book I want to know how it works inside and out so I can better convey it to the reader. IMHO its the difference between Paul casts a fireball Paul reached into the...

Alot of ideas are already out there, the trick is to put your own unique twist on them. Such as the classic Luke you are my father plot line.. You could twist it so that Darth Vader is actually Luke's first love that he was so bad as knocking boots she had a sex change and became a Jedi for the...

Some questions: 1. The Soul Breather - what would prevent one from using a human? 2. crystal magic, no so much a question but a comment the way I handle crystal magic in my world is the Crystals used are grown specifically for that purpose and can be recharged. Overall I question why so...

I have always looked at magic as a unlimited power source channeled via a mortal body. So the power is unlimited however a mortal shell can only handle so much. Hence why the gods are so powerful but even they are limited in what they can do with such a source. In my world of Kaneon the typical...

Amanita, IMHO I would not change my story for political correctness. If the humans hate dark elves and call them pointed ear darkies then let them. If a society keeps slaves from its defeated foes so what. Story is paramount, your always going to have people hate what you write or hate that...

I plan on using my pen name to publish, however in this day and age its way too easy to find out your real name. If you have a persona account in your social media then by all means keep it but unless you want the work of keeping separate lives I would keep it simple.

I pimped you on my twitter, facebook and wordpress
