  • Effects of Environment

    When world-building, the effects an environment has on a culture is fairly profound. For example, if the world has a fairly small star, the planet has to be fairly close to this sun in order to even be habitable.

  • The essence of writing

    Now that I’ve introduced myself, I’ll get down to business. This blog is my writing blog, the blog where I’ll capture the highs and the lows of my writing, thoughts on writing, and thoughts on any research I do for writing. For today, however, I would like to quote one of my favorite books about… Continue reading
