I'm about 35 hours into Inquisition, and a touch more than halfway through the main storyline. The game is amazing. It's huge in an overwhelming...
Conflict arises when two forces have opposing goals. Apply this principle to every scene you write, and you're set. It can be people fighting...
I think a more fitting expression would be they have to stay true to their character. There's a difference between characterisation and true...
I too think the original works fine as is. When faced with a question of style vs. grammar I tend to go with style nine times out of ten. But...
I'm a big geek for this game. Truly an exceptional story. It really makes a statement about the story-telling potential of video games.
This new Raptor beer the ninja's heard so much about tastes like crap. His sword makes short work of the six-pack. I want to see the Chosen One...
I think this trend is true across all media. If you check the top-grossing films of 2013, you'll find most of them are rated PG-13. In this day...

The Last of Us. I'm getting all emotional just thinking about it. Seriously. It's one of the most hard-hitting, honest stories I've ever...
1. Rogues 2. Swords and Dark Magic
What Jabrosky said, but on a broader scope. The best story is the heartfelt story. Tropes and their subversion are an irrelevance. *Enter...
Can't say I'm a fan of Sanderson. I'm inclined to call his skeletal prose empty. And I find his characters flat. As for tropes—you can hit every...
The Rogues anthology comes out later this month. It's a cross-genre piece, but there's a healthy dose of fantasy written by some of the biggest...
This is a gem. Thank you.
Bananas Fruit
A gigantic poisoned steak. More seriously, (and I know I'm not being very helpful) I'm thinking anything that works within your story. Can't...
Never struck me as jarring. I've always thought the landscape changes to imply the passage of time and distance.
I'm curious to hear what people have to say about this. Usually when I write, my creative mind works overtime. I get all these ideas that have...
