Character Details

July 21, 2016November 19, 2018 Jhaydun

For me, adding details to characters has to be one of the hardest parts of writing. Their history and appearance come easily to me but things like speech patterns, conscious choice making, level of intellect and their personality kind of get hard for me to establish and maintain. Without knowing these kinds of things, character… Continue reading Character Details

New Story Idea

July 21, 2016November 19, 2018 Jhaydun

Firstly, this doesn't mean I'm giving up on one of my others, just adding another to work on for fun. Let me know what you think. Apostles, those chosen by the gods of this world, are given the ability to gain extraordinary power through accomplishing heroic and dangerous feats. In a world where strength and… Continue reading New Story Idea

Creating Worlds

July 20, 2016November 19, 2018 Jhaydun

When creating a world, you should remember that it is your world. Unless you're basing it off reality, you don't have any rules. Better yet, you make your own rules. So what should you start with? You can start where you want, I personally start with my main character and build a world around them.… Continue reading Creating Worlds

Remember that this is a work in progress and still very much in early development, but here you go.

July 17, 2016July 31, 2016 Jhaydun

I finally have my computer back, repaired and upgraded. While it was having this stuff done to it over four days I wrote more than I expected I would from my phone.

Shadows of Imeria – Beginning

July 13, 2016November 19, 2018 Jhaydun

I started writing a novel when I was fourteen. I'd only read a few books and I enjoyed writing. But I just wrote, I didn't think about what I was writing. It led to me writing quite an awful story that I couldn't continue. I called that story, Leon. At seventeen I found this same… Continue reading Shadows of Imeria – Beginning

The Beginning of a New Journey

July 13, 2016November 19, 2018 Jhaydun

Our life is all about the mistakes we make and how we learn from them. The life of a writer is quite the same, but what we see as a mistake, could be something that is a part of that writer's style. It could put them onto the shelves in your local bookstore on the… Continue reading The Beginning of a New Journey
