More than fair! As an AoS player I keep hoping to see some Draconith characters or something from the Ironjawz perspective in that Black Library. Seeing the Seraphon getting their own novel gives me hope!

Absolutely a must buy! I'm just saying, there's two brothers that are "team Stormcast" that happen to be giant ancient dragons who need a story told as well in Krondys and Karazai. Maybe GW could be convinced to have their tragic and riveting story told >.>

Haven't been crazy active here as of late, still acclimating on getting my feed to show writing and not just political stuff. Anyway! New blog post is up! #writing #fantasy #dragons #epicfantasy

The Future of Draigtir

A shadowy figure approaches the microphone. He reaches up and taps it once, twice, three times as a puff of dust coalesces around him. And then, he speaks."Is this thing on?"When last I posted, I inte...

It's bad enough the world is... as it is right now. Seeing the booktube stuff tonight has really messed me up.

Dystopian fantasy has my attention!

Dragonsoul Fantasy @dragonsoulfantasy.bsky.social · Feb 7

Amusing moment in my edits. I discovered a minor character who is referenced in ONE CHAPTER, and never again. He's getting absolutely deleted FOREVER. #writing

I feel like I did a good deed? Saw an author on facebook advertise his book, the ad used AI art, I mentioned it politely and he actually messaged me asking if the ad really was a turnoff. Remember friends, not everyone is as tuned into these conversations. Educate educate educate.

So getting a really bad cold is NOT good for my productivity. Oof. Almost done with it though!

He can do everything he does in the story as a secondary character. It feels prudent to snip him out and make the other more fleshed out.

Working on draft 2 and I finally reached the POV characters that were undercooked in draft 1. But I made a choice. One of them is downgraded to important but secondary. One loses pov status. Feels reasonable. #fantasywriter #writing #writer

New blog post is up! Defining adult fantasy vs. how I perceive it, and what I want to do differently from some of my favorite series in how it approaches more mature content.

What is Adult Fantasy?

Slight change of plans. I was going to wait until next week to write this topic and post my inspirations today. But this has been on my mind. What is the definition of adult fantasy? Typically what yo...

Chapter 5 of Draft 2 is in the can. Progress is steady, but my god I have 40 Chapters in Draft 1, and it'll end up being MORE chapters in Draft 2. 😅

One day I want to be able to write full time, because making some good progress in this second draft is feeling quite nice, only to turn quite infuriating when I realize I have to save, exit, and go to my dayjob. Even if I love my dayjob, but still. I want to write!

I've gotten those too.

Any other #writers getting unsolicited dms offering editing services that seem surface level real, deeper level chat gpt esque, and ultimately kinda sketchy? I've had like 5 of these dms.

Tuesday. December is in full swing, and I'm sitting here revising my short story before getting into more draft 2 shenanigans. Tarva's story will be told.

Like, using an example, Baldur's Gate 3. Making my character one of my characters from the book I'm writing.

Fellow #Writers who happen to also be gamers. How often, if at all, do you play RPGs and make your protagonists or other characters from your projects in those games and play as if they were in that setting? I find this to be a fun little exercise.

Next step, a brand new Chapter 3. Time to fill in some gaps that were missing early on. Love the process.

Draft 2, Chapter 2 is done. I think for me Draft 2 is all about the actual writing plus big story edits. My thinking is draft 3 is when I'll start tinkering, fine tuning, and making sure the world building is consistent. At least, that's my thought.
