This started as a side note in my post yesterday about The Crimes of Grindelwald. You probably don’t have to read it for this one to make sense since it’s mostly a review of the film, but it’s here in case you want to. Oh, the human psyche. I do this Thing in classes when […]

I can’t find the site that made this – Ilona Andrews linked to it on her blog at some point back in July 2017 – oh wait that’s a date range I can find it – HERE! here it is. *ahem* InspiroBot generate (de)motivational posters, and sometimes they are bloody depressing and sometimes they are

Some great reading I’ve been doing lately that’s really made me think. Freedom not to choose is a faith worth believing in – discussion of Britain as a state-religion-less society.

GRRM (George R.R. Martin) is what we call a sloooooow writer. Stephen King is what we call a fast writer. In Chuck Wendig’s 2016 Mandate post, he refers to a comment that he once received from a reader stating that his books were no good and that he ‘settled’ because he wrote too fast. This

Urgh. Doing the last little bit of research for #FGU (more properly known as From The Ground Up: Building A World That Works) and I’ve been doing a bit of comparative work with some of the other worldbuilding books that are out there – and trust me, there are surprisingly few, which is why I
