Mapmaking

Westeros, Middle Earth and Narnia have maps that are instantly recognisable to most people, even though they are for places that don’t exist. Although we don’t look at maps nearly as much as we used to thanks to the invention of technology, they’re still very relevant in fantasy books and an essential part of word building.

House Manning | Ruler of the Nights Children

Family is not chosen, but bound by a curse of blood and birth

“The Manning’s are in charge of keeping the vampires in line. They’re good people, and there’s a lot of them, but from I hear they don’t seem to like each other all that much.”

It was agreed upon that everybody would disregard both good design and good taste.

So I made most of this over the last four days, and with varying levels of coherent thought and common sense. The process is documented in a thread here

Someday I will have my own place. My world won’t be confined to my room. I will stumble sleepily through the house in the morning, opening the blinds. I will sit out in the backyard and look at the stars. I will go out whenever I want to. I will survive long enough to have that.

What to do when you have characters but no plot

What to do when you have characters but no plot

Character creation is one of the most exciting aspects of creative writing. Making up unique characters who can look, act, speak or even smell however you want opens the mind to endless possibilities. So it’s no surprise that for a lot of people character creation comes before any sort of plot outline. It’s hard to write a good book with no plot (although there are authors who somehow managed to…
