    How do you build your fantasy world?

    I create 3D digital height maps in 3Ds MAX. First, I create a black and white topography map in Photoshop, then I import it into 3Ds MAX and play around with the topography tools using a 2d plane. Third, I decorate my world with water, flora, and textures. Finally, I let my imagination free an...

    Anyone else using dreams for wolrdbuilding?

    I have had this reoccurring dream since I was about nine or ten years old. I started writing about it at thirteen, but my work was destroyed by a family member.

    How do you feel when you have finished a piece of work?

    This is a very good question. All of my stories are continuous and have the ability to branch out in many different directions. I want my stories to be timeless and consist of new areas to explore.

    What do you look for in a book cover?

    I appreciate simplicity, authenticity, and bespoke design—something that captures the essence of the story. If it's part of a series, I especially enjoy seeing the cover art evolve alongside the narrative.

    Emotions during dialogue

    I use The International Handbook of Psychology in Education, which explains the effects of events and the emotions that follow. It also provides examples of cause and effect, helping me gain insight and relate more effectively.

    How Planned is Your Plan?

    I start by creating a flowchart and summarizing each key point. From there, I build an entire planet, complete with its own ecosystem and language. I continuously refine the plot, events, weather systems, mechanics, and physics as the world evolves. I find that typing my thoughts in Word helps...

    Starting your book

    It’s so hard finding the right starting point, especially when your character’s personal stakes come in later. Do you feel like your early story content is more focused on worldbuilding and setup? Or are you trying to stay close to the character’s wants and needs? If the war scene feels too...

    Your Top 10 Favorite Shows Of All Time?

    I don’t really watch TV shows anymore because I haven’t found anything that ignites my interest. When Warehouse 13 and Bones aired, I watched every episode—and I still enjoy watching the reruns. Movies I can watch over and over again: Proof I.Q. A Beautiful Mind The Lord of the Rings Trilogy...

    fears

    You’re not alone in your fears of launching a book—whether it’s your first or your tenth. But if your story moves you, there’s a high probability it will move others as well. There might be readers quietly waiting for the exact story only you can tell. For me, success isn’t just about sales or...

    Is anyone in this here forum getting a Nintendo Switch 2?

    I received my Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5th. So far, I love it, but the battery life is poor. It is somewhat comfortable; however, the handheld console itself is huge, adding to the weight. The controllers are comfortable enough, but beware when snapping them back into place—you can easily pinch...
