Met my goal for day one twice over, so I'm feeling pretty confident. I'm handwriting my book, so I'm not keeping track of the word count. My only goal is to fill up a 200 sheet wide ruled notebook (I could have sworn I bought college ruled!). Today's goal was to just get two pages written, ended...

Title really says it all. But in my world, I thought it would be a cool idea that when a dwarf dies, they sometimes cremate the bodies and mix the ashes into a sword, axe or hammer. Would the carbon from the body help strengthen the metal to make the weapon more durable? Or would it have no real...

I’m making some slow but sure progress in DOOM Eternal, and I’m having a blast. There’s something viscerally satisfying about chainsawing demons.

If that doesn’t work, you could try a large wooden badger...

Thank you very much for your recommendation! I went ahead and ordered that book, as well as another he wrote called “The Road to Middle Earth”. They both look very promising and pretty much exactly what I’m looking for during this study!

Recently, I have begun a sort of “Tolkien Study”, where I’m basically reading everything JRR Tolkien has ever written. It’s my goal to really delve into these works, as Tolkien is the most significant influence on my writing, and doing this will really help me better understand his process and...

I've been writing fantasy since before I was legally allowed to drink alcohol (21 years old in the states, for any non US members). So I've never really been sure how to write about the taste of alcohol, the effects of it, etc. I turned 21 recently, and had my first glass of wine last night...

I'm currently in a D&D game brilliantly run by my best friend. As part of the story, he told each of us to choose one item from mythology that we were going to use in game. It could be any item, as long as it had some base in mythology. I chose Mjolnir for my dwarf fighter. I'm starting to...

Start at the very beginning. I hear it's a very good place to start.

Maybe Writer's Work? That could be a good place.

A zippered binder full of notebook paper. Though I do use Google Docs on my phone for notes.

Doctor Strange is gonna be so good! I'm super excited for it!
