Teaching Clyde a Lesson

Posted on March 17, 2021 by Charles Yallowitz

As I’ve mentioned, War of Nytefall: Savagery works differently than previous volumes.  It has more of a quest feel to the story, which isn’t something that plays to Clyde’s strengths.  If he can’t hunt it down and fight it then he comes … Continue reading →

Posted on February 19, 2021 by Charles Yallowitz

A goal of writing is to evolve our characters.  If they are the same at the end of their adventure as they were at the beginning then we missed something.  Even if they go back home, there needs to be … Continue reading →

The Evolution of Clyde and Mab

Posted on February 5, 2020 by Charles Yallowitz

First, I tried to find a vampire couple picture to use here, but the results weren’t very appealing when it came to Clyde and Mab.  Closest thing was Alucard and Seras from ‘Hellsing’, but they aren’t a couple.  Anyway, I … Continue reading →

Fate of the Self-Righteous

Posted on December 6, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

Much of the self-righteous character depends on the landing.  You can have them be a jerk for the entire story and then redeem them with a good ending.  I don’t mean good as in happy, but a well-written one.  There … Continue reading →

The Evolution of Clyde

One of the greatest challenges in War of Nytefall is going to be having Clyde grow throughout the series.  He’s already a physical powerhouse and has an intimidating reputation.  There’s very little that will change there because any stronger and it would … Continue reading →
