Just wanted to say, in case anyone is wondering about this game still... I'm not a huge Zelda fan. I've played most of them, because I've always owned a Nintendo, and Zelda is fantasy, but still it's always felt repetitive. Skyward Sword is different. This game is a lot of fun, and things...

Thank you, Benjamin! It probably is an excellent point to just get rid of this bit. And, since it's a relatively knew bit of writing I haven't fully fallen in love with it yet, so this maybe easier than most cuts. I've been really hung up on tenses lately, and I've realized that my own taste...

Themes appear in a couple of ways throughout my writing. Often when I'm "discovery" writing, they just pop in, like others have already mention. Sort of a natural progression to the story bares the bones of a theme. i realize that this isn't necessarily helpful to the "planning" or extensively...

OK. The novel that I've been working on is being written in what is probably the 'standard' point of view for fantasy (at least in this day-and-age), 3rd person limited. While I know the rules to both limited and omniscient, I certainly don't claim to be a master of either. A single sentence...

Thanks everyone! This is a lot of great information... I knew that usually they just started a fire by flint and just lit everything from there... and I think this makes the most sense for what I'm writing, but I'll continue to look. The research game is never finished.

Thanks Erica! Yeah I'll have to look into this more, and your absolutely right, I may create my own way doing fire. :)

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and the encouragement! I make functional stoneware and porcelain. Anything from mugs and steins to bowls, jugs and platters. :)

I think that this guild works. I too deal with a guild that is ancient, and what I've come to realize, is that even the most prestigious and time-honored societies go through darker periods. It defines them. My question is this: How are they viewed by those who aren't born unto them? I know you...

Hello everyone! This site is fantastic and I can't believe it has taken me this long to find myself here!. I only hope that I can contribute in a positive way and become apart of this community. Let's see, in real life I make pottery for a living and I'm currently finishing up my B.S. in...

Hello, I was just wondering what a common way for lighting things such as candle and pipes during medieval times? Any help would be much appreciated!
