I'm currently planning a novel called Ashbranded, which I'll start writing officially in November. I already have the magic system planned out. The consequence of using too much magic for the Ashbrand society is losing all feeling/emotions and "turning to ash." While it might be described as...
I want to write a fantasy story, a story where people fight creatures called nightmares, these people are called dreamwalkers and their powers come from objects or conditions called tributes.
On the eve of the last solstice, amidst the sacred grove where the spirits of the ancestors whispered secrets to the living, stood the Shaman of Clan Gethmara. A respected figure among my tribe, was granted a vision that would ripple through the fabric of existence.
As the flames of the...
I trying to craft a ritual in a culture ruled by powerful shapeshifters that assimilate animal DNA or bio-imprints. The shapeshifter makes an offering to the dormant, semi-sleeping Earth Dwellers. Should the offering be accepted, the supplicant receives some sort of biological upgrade. Should...

Chapter One
Thunk, thunk, thunk. Agri's hoe connected solidly with the soil. It wasn't naturally good, but he had worked hard to enrich it, and Leela would be pleased with the greens he was hoping to grow.
Agri had labored hard to clear his small patch in the dense forest. The work...
I mean, I went to a bookshop, and saw YA section. Besides them is fantasy section(and scifi too). Arent they the same? Whats the difference between a fantasy and YA. I didnt bother to read them abit, silly me, but based on the cover design and intro at the back, I dont understand why they are...
I just got through a few fantasy books, and all of them have maps drawn for its settings. This is really cool! It's giving me good feelings. I think doing the worldbuilding gonna be really fun!

To summarize quickly:
The book is a fanatasy/mystery novel. The story is a side of it's own, but something about the world bothers me.
So, just to summarize the lore of the world:
It is a planet, with one large continent. On the north, northeast of the continent, among the mountains, a race...
The Town was an augmented version of the Fallows, a lank feeling of desperation hung on every corner.
Rowan consulted his map and cross referenced it with his location in relation to his journey thus far and if his bearings served him correctly then he was stood, more or less, where the words...
Rowan woke to blackout and silence.
“PA! Pa are you there?” Rowan cried in confusion as he tossed around on the bed “Ornella? Ornella, i’m sorry!’
Over the next few moments Rowan recalled the events of the past, fragments of days, in his head.
In a state of panic, Rowan thought for a split...
Rowan’s ears embraced the words as a cherry blossom does the spring. With curling toes and hairs on end Rowan could hear his home calling to him, to rescue, to repair and to complete him once again.
‘Rowan-Rowan?’ a gust of words fleeted by in the key of G major.
The man slung his bag onto his...
Stunned, Rowan lay frozen too petrified to open his eyes. The strangers warm breath teased the inside of Rowans ear.
Without moving a single other muscle in his body Rowan steadily prised open his left eyelids and rolled his gaze towards the direction of the thing that had him anchored.
Dusk...
Wilfred followed the direction of his sons startled eyes towards a piece of folded parchment leaning awkwardly between the dusty floor and the timber wall.
Rowan darted at the floor like a Gannet to retrieve the parchment. He then moved into the centre of the room and took a deep breath before...
Rowan’s hands were beginning to numb as he hung, in a state of nature, from the base of the moon by his ankles. His ear was wet and his feet on fire, both of which were distracting him from the seven sets of unfaltering eyes he could discern closing in on him from the abyss. Dread and defeat...
