World Building II – The Creatures
Welcome back to part II of World Building! YAAAAYYYY!!!!!! Today we're covering my favorite part of world building- the creatures! (As the title of the post suggests.) When someone says fantasy, how many people think 'dragon'? And when someone mentions Tolkien, we think about Elves and Dwarves and Hobbits. You say Narnia, I say talking … Continue reading World Building II – The Creatures
Ragnar or Perfectly Not Alright
Excerpt from Addleberg Lang: This is another of my character poems. The character it features is Ragnar Lupeson, one of the more main side characters in the series Magic Stones. I don’t want to give too much away about him or the role he plays in the series, but I’ll give you this: Ragnar was … Continue reading Ragnar or Perfectly Not Alright
The Favorite Child
As you may or may not have noticed, there was no post last Saturday. That's because I got throat punched by life and didn't get my stuff together in time. Because of that, you're getting a double post today. (And because I'd really like to keep on schedule.) So, I was supposed to have a … Continue reading The Favorite Child
Get Ready To Laugh- It’s Meme Time
Half of being a writer is getting distracted by browsing through memes. At least, it is for me. Seeing as I've wasted so much time collecting these memes, I thought it was only fair to share them with you. (I apologize in advance for any language. I tried to pick clean ones but sometimes I … Continue reading Get Ready To Laugh- It’s Meme Time
Killing Off Characters; When You Should and Shouldn’t – Plotting, Part III
When I first saw this on Pinterest, I thought it was brilliant. I used a few of the tips and had great results. Then I used the first bit of advice: kill someone. Needless to say, some of my friends were horrified. The first time I did it, it ended up working. A character was … Continue reading Killing Off Characters; When You Should and Shouldn’t – Plotting, Part III
Side Characters
The protagonist is certainly the most important character in a story, next to the antagonist of course, but what about the side characters? They're just there as useful plot points to further the main character along, right? Right? Heck no. Every side character is the main character in their own story. You're telling their story … Continue reading Side Characters

Types of Characters
Hello everybody! This is the second post on my series about creating characters. If you missed the first post, click here. In this post, I’ll be talking about types of characters; Morally Grey, Chaotic Good, etc. The term I was looking for when I wrote my previous post was Moral Alignment. Knowing how your character … Continue reading Types of Characters
Let There Be Life
Alrighty my people, it’s time to get to the good stuff. As amazing as your plot may be, your story will flat without compelling characters. There should be four posts in this series (Since I already did the Antagonist post.) but we’ll see what happens. In this post, I’m just going to cover the basics … Continue reading Let There Be Life
