This blog post deals with two of my favorite things: Novels by Brandon Sanderson, and Politics. Stormlight Archive is considered Sanderson’s magnum opus. His crown jewel. The story he has always wanted to tell. I could focus on the very diverse cast for the sake of a blog post, but today I will focus on one character and one
As I have run out of books by Brandon Sanderson and RA Salvatore to (re) read, I have began re-reading the series that lead me to these authors: Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. So as I have been making a habit of writing posts about characters who I really have enjoyed in fiction, I am glad to write
As I have just recently completed the newest Mistborn Novel, Shadows of Self, I have had my mind drawn back to the Kandra, somewhat Humanoid beings that can take on the shape and form of any being that they digest the bones of. The extra twist with these abilities is that due to a combination of immortality and extreme
There are many characters in fiction that I draw inspiration from when I design those of my own, but not all characters are created equally and thus, some characters have more of an effect than others.

In addition, Magic systems are getting far
The End of Utopia is complete and is on Amazon to read. But that’s not what this post is about. Instead I will go into the method for how I will continue with the next book. Book 1 was certainly no lighthearted fantasy story, but for the most part, the reader gets a feeling that the heroes can win. A
After writing a blog post on why I hated hard sci fi and then tearing 2312 a new asshole, today I will explain why I love soft sci fi while praising Mistborn. I have to credit author Brandon Sanderson as one of my greatest inspirations for writing. He along with RA Salvatore are among my favorite authors. But before
It took quite a bit of work, but now that I have completed part 3, I can say with confidence that I managed to get an entire book published. I found the final segment of the novel to be the easiest to write. Perhaps this was due to finally getting the plot to fall into place after a whole lot
Its known as a Sin in Christianity and known as a character that I have taken quite a fondness for in Fullmetal Alchemist. But the idea of Pride as well as the character of the same name both have major implications for my life in ways that are not so unrelated at all. As far as the idea of
