Revisit: Crushers of Souls and Puppies
This went live on January 2, 2013 and it comes off as fairly naive. I seem so simplistic in my view on villains and what makes one good. Not sure why I lacked any nuance, especially since I had to … Continue reading
Revisit: No Fun in Perfection
This was posted December 26, 2012 and I love the opening warning. Even in my haggard state, I was able to make some sense. Pretty sure I’ve touched on this subject a few times afterwards, but it’s funny how it … Continue reading

Do Authors Need to Access Emotions While Writing?
I’m surprised when I run into people who think authors shouldn’t access any emotions while writing. They feel one must remain calm, clear-headed, and at peace even if the scene is one of anger or fear. Never been given an … Continue reading
Is Non-Magical Food Preservation Possible in Fantasy Worlds?
At first, I thought food preservation would be difficult to explain in a fantasy world. My mind got stuck on refrigeration and pasteurization, which are more modern. Yet, humans have been preventing food from going back since 12,000 BC. So, … Continue reading

How Do They Have Drinkable Water in Fantasy Worlds?
This thought came to my mind with no inspiration. Then again, I simply might have been thirsty and lacking water. It made me think about how characters drink water in fantasy worlds with no treatment plants. We’re told that we … Continue reading
