by Unknown's avatar

Not a fan of Groban personally, but this is really the best version of this song I’ve heard. When to Listen: Touching scene for a touching song. This is one to listen to when you’re writing a solemn scene between some of your main characters. Something either before or after the big fight when they have some down time to express feelings. Readers, Do you … Read More From My Writing (Christmas!) Playlist #Music #Writing

From My Writing (Christmas!) Playlist

by Unknown's avatar

This song is dumb. I mean downright dumb. Listen to the lyrics and the horrible things that they say about Africa. I know… I know… they meant Ethiopia, but they didn’t say Ethiopia, they said Africa. “There’s a world outside your window, and it’s a world of dread and fear Where a kiss of love can kill you, and there’s death in every tear … Read More From My Writing (Christmas!) Playlist

Was Radley sexually attracted to a woman that was essentially a giant lizard? How would that have even worked? Sexual attraction, at least in my opinion, is important to a relationship, so I don’t … Read More Intimate Love Without Sexual Intimacey?

by Unknown's avatar

Hi Jim, I was really interested in the way your books turned the narrative. In your first book, you had dragons completely vilified. These creatures nearly stole Earth from humans, they destroyed almost 7 billion lives, wiping out human society. These were evil creatures. However, then you moved into the idea that not all of them were evil. Some of them were benevolent or … Read More From Bad to Good, The Faction Switch! #Writing #Author #Advice
