    Human Anti-Magic

    So, here's my thoughts. On the world I am invisioning, the first living beings were spirits(elementals, wisps, djnn, the whole shibang).

    Writing Resource Google Doc

    I was recently inspired to create a massive Google doc of writing resources for my writing forum (but also just for people in general to use), and figured I would share the link here. A lot of them are geared toward the fantasy genre, but there's a lot of general writing links as well. Over...
