To Caliburn, Yeah, I do agree with you. I have the same problem with you.. In my mind, I have this large project to undertake and given my skill in the language of English and putting it into paragraphs of words.. it's not easy. I don't believe in giving up though, so I'll press on and do my...

I have a plan actually. I am working on a big project which i always wanted to work on. Like an epic fantasy setting story. But at the same time, I want to write in short stories for some historical events and characters, decision that they made and etc.. which somehow link to this main story...

I think it really depends on how you like to write your story.. For me, I like complicated, big scale plots kind of storylines.. I enjoyed George Martin works on Song of Fire and Ice, but I don't think I will want to write something like that. but political strife seems quite a nice way to add...

Thank you, Devor. I personally feel that I'm also a person who do the story path first, then build the world. So, summarize a bit.. I just do my story.. Write about the story, put in the things that comes to my mind, and if I need to build a world.. say, how does the invading army attack the...

So, from what I gathered, I should firstly, build a world first. Mapping out the terrains and landscape, with cities, villages and caves, mountains and etc.. Then, build a culture of the existing world.. like how different cities hated/love each other, and relationship with different races...

Thank you for the advice.. One thing though I currently encountered is that.. I want to make my story full of twists.

I think it's a good idea.. Just use your imagination to do it. I think it's quite cool. One thing to input.. If you want to 'upgrade' the kidnap part to be more humane(in a way), you can put it in a way that they take the orphans and homeless kids off the streets, give them a sword and learn...

Greek and Norse myth and cultures? Ok, I'll take a look and check them out.

I'm using mac and I can't get campaign cartographer, now that I realized.. and auto realm also... is there others? If not, I have to go for pen and papers... which i don't want

Time traveling? That is a neat idea. So, your stories are going to be more sci fi than fantasy, yeah? Actually, if you look at shows like star trek or Star wars, they didn't know what the future will hold, and yet technologies are evolving towards their views on how future is about. I dare...

EllianBaker: Is it good, autoRealm? I want a tool that I can work with ease, and not one that makes my life more troublesome...

Same here, I got the Garden of the Moon as a ebook in my phone for months.. I am going to complete the current book that I'm reading and once that is done, I'll go to Garden of the Moon..

Hi, everyone Recently, I got struck in my writing.. well, stuck at chapter 1 is really embarrassing.. haha But I do realized that it's not easy to get started.. and I believe there will be many stops during writing.. So I thought that I should make myself a map and use it to reference and...
