I have quite a few reference books for life in the middle ages/renaissance. Art books. Movie Behind The Scenes books. And books on Writing.
WRITING TIP FOR TODAY

Sale racks at bookstores. I'm dead serious.

Buy reference books when they are practically giving them away and build a little library. I cannot explain the difference between a book and the ENTIRE WEB.

A good reference book will give you a dozen ideas in the first chapter.

New Chapter in our Exalted saga: (And yes, this one truly deserves its rating of "Mature" -- and Nellens Genshaku is a lucky, lucky man...) 😉

Fanfic featuring.... well, both of the characters in my avatar pic, but not together. Post-series finale, What Happened After, which I was inspired by. (The anime is Blood+, which is a magical girl/vampire hunter story of sorts...). Anyway, this is part one.... of multiple parts.

Apparently, I had a lot to say about AI and why you shouldn't use it as a creative, soooo, here all of that is.

Art is about people. This is obvious and simplistic on the face of it but I think it’s important to remind ourselves of this– Art is about people. It is by people. It is for people. Art…
