Endland needs its heroes.
Too bad they’re young, oblivious and learning from a senile master who can hardly think straight. They would much prefer to go back to earth. And maybe eat a sandwich.

Sometimes we’re so focused on the finish line we forget to enjoy the race.
Sure, it can be difficult. But you still get to decide how you’ll react to the bumps in the road.

Have you ever written a character into your story and then sort of run out of stuff for them to do?
I’ve got a minor character that was important in book 1 but really takes a back seat in book 2. He’s around but doesn’t do a whole lot.
Is that alright?

Alright, I’ve seen some stuff where people are saying writers shouldn’t write MCs that aren’t their gender, race, religion etc.
And I’m here to say that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Writers can write any character we want from any perspective we want.

I think anyone should be free to write any story from any perspective. White write black, gay write straight, etc etc. it requires more work to accurately capture how different walks of life would experience the events of the story, but we shouldn’t limit ourselves. Write on!

Opening line of your current WIP
“I’ll tell you what, you guys need to figure out this whole rest area thing. ‘Cus if I have to dig another hole so I can drop a deuce, I think I’m going to lose my mind.” Johnny called as he emerged from a thicket of trees.
'Tureank the Hunter knelt before his queen.
His eyes rose to her face. It was pale and haughty, twisted with cold arrogance. He hated her. He loved her. He craved her embrace and knew that he might need to destroy her.
If only he had the strength.'
Jantakai Saga, Book Two.

Fun fact:
When I first started writing Chosen: The New Order, I originally had it slated as a religious epic, with angels and demons and the like.
But I enjoyed the freedoms of creating my own world way more and pivoted to fantasy after the first few chapters
