Prince Lazuro and Veziro Taguno, the king’s advisor, shouldn’t be together. Is this real love or is it passion fueled by different motivations altogether?

From Dragon Age to No Man’s Sky, fantasy video games have inspired my writing just as much as novels have. Have you played any of these?

Fantasy writers steal from history constantly; the clothing, the etiquette, the architecture, the politics, the grotesque and the glamorous.

Every Friday, I meet a member of the British Fantasy Society and peer deep into their soul (or, at least, a form they filled out). This week it's off to Yorkshire to visit the space between high fantasy and grimdark, where the characters are flawed and the cynicism bites, with Andrew Knighton.

Hi, Mastodon!

I am new here and looking to have a great time sharing about my books, other writing endeavors, and occasionally gaming or hiking pictures.😊

I have just self-published a High Fantasy book called Weaving Dawn. The 1st chapter, as well as some Lovecraft inspired short stories, are free on tanjaveil.com.😊

I think for the end of the year I'll be editing the original draft ending for my story of seasons, it's already in the draft page as a... Clean up format. I may do a pic for it but I want to make a proper clean of the writing and make it...well... Understandable, cause MAN that thing is rough.

To catch up check it out on my substack in the little prelude page!

#WorldBuilding : Fishing customs!

For the village of Eloailsa, the nearby lake provides fish, water greens, and clams. The fish and greens are preserved for the long winters, and many villagers spend mornings and evenings collecting or fishing along the shore.

I took heavy inspiration from Scottish history for the creel basket designs, but they seem to be almost universal around the world.

I've not posted an update since before we went off to the Lake District for the second week of April. Progress has been severely hampered since then by, among other things, taking 17 days out to watch the World Snooker Championship (pretty much the only sporting event we get involved with in our house).

That's all done now, as of yesterday, so I got back to the draft in earnest today and clocked up almost 3,000 words, reaching the end of Chapter 16 (of 21) and rapidly closing in on 80% complete for this first draft.

I'd already pushed my target end-date back on our return from the Lakes (from end April to mid May) but I forgot to factor in the snooker, so now my tracking spreadsheet is saying I need to achieve another 3,000 words EVERY DAY for the next 8 days if I'm to hit that target.

Unlikely.

But I'm pretty sure I can do better than the spreadsheet's prediction of the actual end date (May 31st) and indeed I have to do better, because building work starts here during the last week of May and it's gonna be utter chaos for three or four months. I really don't want the draft to be affected by all that. Sporadic writing time is fine for editing, but for "the actual writing" I need more focus and near-zero distractions. We'll see.

Current predicted final word count: 108,000.
