    First or third person?

    Since I personally dislike 1st person and like 3rd person I'm going to recommend that. But I don't have heavier arguments than personal preferences.

    How do you name characters?

    Sometimes I have a plan with a name but most often I got for the first culturally appropriate name that comes to mind

    How to keep a simple plot interesting?

    Good obstacles can be how to get away from her husband? The MC might not be economically independent and that makes leaving more difficult than just walking out. She'll need to either get hold of money to finance her travel away from the place of her husband's residence, either before she sets...

    So about my 'style' of writing...

    Pretty much my approach

    Is it possible to have non-cliché dwarfs?

    I will just throw in that I refuse to accept the existence of cliches. I only recognize classics.

    What makes you read a book multiple times?

    If a book leaves a very strong positive impression on me I can read it again. But that don't happen often as there are so many books I want to read and I am a slow reader.

    Do you play old school games?

    Does WarCraft 1+2 and Heroes of Might and Magic 1-4 count?

    What Are You Playing Now?

    I've made my way to the first mist wall. I'm unsure if this is where I enter to enable PVP or if there's a boss behind this one. But either way I'm getting hyped to push through it. EDITED: And I've got myself a nice shield as well. :D

    We're back! Want to track your weekly progress with me again?

    Following the rule to write something, almost anything, every day I'm working on "End of the Rail" which is about two women on a farm talking about a new railway which goes past their farm and home.

    How do you name your Faerie/Little People ?

    If I would write something bigger featuring fae then I would think I would take inspiration from some rpgs. The most powerful, or the nobility if you like, would be the High Fae with scores of other groupings of fae around and below them.

    Then I shall indulge you with an overview of how it went in my story. The discussion went that, in the company of good food and drink, the hedonist argues for the greatest possible pleasure in the moment while the Epicure argues for pleasure in the moment but not at the cost of pain tomorrow...

    We're back! Want to track your weekly progress with me again?

    Not at this moment. I've had a backslide into sloth so now its mostly focused on reading, writing and gaming regularly so I get something done as opposed to just being lazy and do nothing. This is mostly short stories and flash fiction to get the writing habit back and build discipline.
