Writers can do much with their imaginations. This includes various devices to help both sides of the conflict. These can be anything from small, useful things to devices that have a large-scale impact on what a character can do. They can even break a genre’s boundary, allowing something one could not normally do.

Reading: intimacy and sex in fantasy
Some time ago, I wrote about how I see romance in fantasy both from reader and writer point of view, as well as some general thoughts about romance in relation to ending of the story. Today, I’m venturing into slightly more dangerous waters: intimacy in fantasy.
Warning: potentially sensitive content will be mentioned in this post.
Forging a character: Kraasian Darkwood
Today, I’m trying something different: a look back on the development of a specific character in my work-in-progress story. I’d like this to be a small series of possibly monthly posts. To start, I chose one of the most prominent characters: the experienced warrior Kraasian Darkwood.
Writing: romance elements in fantasy
Book review: Drakin, the story of Raiya
After two Sci-Fi books (Jurrasic Park and Resist), I got to read a book that is some kind of a mix of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Another step into the unknown for me – and one that worked for me.
Writing: what to expect from my story
Greetings everyone. Today, I’ll give a few more hints on what you can (or can’t) expect to see in my work-in-progress fantasy trilogy. Spoiler-free, of course. I am really careful about that.
Writing: beta prologue reveal
I’ll keep this one short. The first sample of my coming fantasy is finally available to see. It’s up-to-date with edits made in early September and will be updated with each major draft. This first shared fragment is roughly 0,5% of the to-be book one and can be viewed here.
I should be able to share one to three more samples in time (no ETA yet). The whole book one should be completed in the second half of 2019 if everything goes well. I’ll probably try to share some other bits in the meantime. What they’ll be is hard to guess.
Anyway, that’s it from me. See you next time.
