I think the current level of writing skill you have would make it difficult to properly convey your ideas, this is not a reflection personally on you, I understand the difficulties you are having. Like Xanados, I'm not trying to offend you. Also, the idea really does sound confusing, this...

@Xanados Agreed, haha I love Family Guy! *Also, Paralyzer by Finger Eleven is a great song, I forgot to mention this in my previous post :P

I really like the sound of your story, especially the democratic revolutionesque backdrop ;) I think Devor and Ravana said it right though, you've really got to decide what kind of a character this young man is. What would make him want to go out into the countryside, away from his city-based...

I create little naming conventions for each country/region that I try and stick to but don't mind blurring around borders and big cities. If characters are native to a country then their name will usually follow the conventions of that country and by that I mean stick to the set style and sound...

I don't know what it is called but it really is quite interesting now you bring it up. I have to say, personally, when I'm reading a book that does this it always makes me stutter mentally. I know that sounds odd but what I mean is that it undoes any immersion that the writer so far has...

Hi everyone! It occurred to me today that I'll probably end up writing from the perspectives of many different characters - all of different origins and each with their own goals. It's kind of my aim for the reader to not really take sides just because they know more about one character - or one...

Hey everyone :) I'm not exactly new here but I've not posted much and I thought I'd formally introduce myself - I'm Jacob! I have a few little projects on the go right now which I'll probably post about later today :) In the meantime: TigerHaus - This is my blog :D @TigerHausBlog - is my...

I,ve been world building for so long now, I am itching to start writing but I'm still not finished :)

I agree, some systems do this well but I'm mostly up for just tiredness like you said. What I meant was that there is no limit, Harry could use the killing curse limitlessly because the magic in the books is infinite. It just seems silly, it doesn't even make the characters tired. And Ophiucha...

Spells... Wand in hand + words from mouth + moving of arm (optional) = MAGIC ^ [odd words, a hodgepodge of various languages] I love Harry Potter but the magical system is just so flawed. I don't like that the use of magic has no cost, nothing is lost for the gain. Harry...

In the world I am currently building one of the taboos is touching another person's blood. This is more commonly noted as a taboo within the nobility, people who would be horrified at the thought of someone else's blood on their skin. Blood is seen as very sacred, it is the vessel for magic and...

I just read The Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson and each book is around 240,000 words. They were amazing, perhaps one of my all time favourite book series. The books themselves were huge, small print too, easily 700 pages each. At first the idea of reading them was daunting but I flew...
