    My Fantasy Writing Group Is Looking for a 4th Member!

    Hi. Wow what a commitment. The challenge of it alone is intriguing (2-4 hour thematic/other discussions wonderful!). Well my name is sehsphare for now --although if the admins approve it will be charcuterie. I've been looking for a dedicated writing group for some time. I find a lot of the...

    cards to trigger story ideas

    I am usually triggered in part by real life experiences, whether they themselves are real or not is debateable, as well as the stories of other authors/screenwriters. History and psychology also provide a lot of lessons.

    Is this a good poem?

    Oh I don't know about form though. Formal English is not my thing.

    Is this a good poem?

    Not bad. I love lightning like horses whips and thunder like armies. Dew, yes it is a good poem.

    Tell me about a dream project of yours (Within the world of writing)

    I'm with Svrtnesse and TheCrystallineEntity on this. I'd love to write an MMO based on my work and have an animated movie or series as well.

    A Colorful Situation pt5

    “I think it is best to take a closer look, Lord Rant. I of course am young, and Benjaffe not much older. I am still a student, but I think it is fortunate for you that Dulah came with us. How old is your settlement here? 40 years?” Rant nodded. “Well, Dulah is 96 years old. If I am not mistaken...

    A Colorful Situation pt4

    “I understand you have read the message.” Rant’s voice was somewhere between excited and anxious. “The people of the Esson are curious to know what the Ouvari think of its contents. How can you help us?” To this Hasser sat back in his cushioned chair. He was all attention before, and he even...

    A Colorful Situation pt 3

    It was quite organized as was apparent when Hasser tilted it forward so that Lord of the House Rant could view its interior. He noticed that the materials came in different forms. In the widest of the compartments was another small vial. Another exemplary piece of tiny workmanship. The liquid...

    A Colorful Situation pt 2

    The entire behavior was so odd that Bairn, the Master at Arms, put the guards on high alert. He only took them off when the House Mistress complained of all the boots ruffling up her good carpets. It still took Rant’s order to return the soldiers to their business and duties though. Bairn did...

    A Colorful Situation

    Hasser was a small man barely standing five foot six but he wore a flamboyant attire, here loose and there clinging, that overcame his physique. Around his torso was a baggy, teal, silk shirt cut away from the right shoulder to reveal a velvet, crimson and gold tunic underneath. It was tucked...

    An old writing I recently edited for garble... maybe it will turn into something

    A portfolio of small works and writing exercises. This features aspects of the world building I am currently working on to complete a novel or perhaps a series of novels. Many of the writings will follow a gentleman named Hasser. He is a priest, a student, and an adventurer. A Colorful Situation...

    Where to start with characters?

    I think the beginning of character development presents itself as they work out their first problem. And that can be a simple problem, like going to a market. What do they notice? Who do they talk to? Who do they avoid? If you allow your character to interact with the environment instead of just...

    Writing psychological combat vs physical combat

    I think the important thing to remember about psychological combat is that anything can happen inside the mind and because it's happening inside the mind everything has to be momentous, felt, and experienced. It's the same as tactile combat, except that there is a psychic perturbance in the way...
