I can’t help it #writingcommunity, I honestly love world-building and outlining, so it’s probably good I write #fantasy
Today I:
1. Sketched out about 2000 years of history for 1 of 4 Empires
2. Made character notes for the principals
3. Added detail notes for 1st 3 sequences

Maps of Granada (which I just visited), Ancient Rome, and Ancient Jerusalem studied, parsed, cross-referenced, and deconstructed. Reassembled in an admittedly sparse first draft of the city map central to my #fantasy WIP.

OK, #writingcommunity, I had a fairly productive day all in all. I made an ink copy of the world map for my #fantasy WIP, I plotted a Sequence (I no longer call them Scenes) and fixed the previous one. And I worked on word generation (a favorite pastime).

By the gods, have these people never read a single superhero comic? For that matter, I’m pretty sure Fu Manchu ‘dies’ at the end of every novel. What a fake crisis. #booksky #comicsky # jamesbond #filmsky
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

#WritingCommunity, what was the worst book you’ve ever read? And did you manage to finish it? #TellMeAboutYourReading
#fantasy #sciencefiction #booksky
Undoubtedly something by Lin Carter, probably a middle entry in his Zanthadon series. Unreadable, but I did finish it! The book, not the series.

I’ve been through a fairly significant health scare (back to back visits to the Emergency Room in different rural Spanish towns) and back in the Airbnb recovering and enjoying this simple pleasure. #comicsky

Quick #writingcommunity update:
1. Stoked to open an email and have a story accepted by Swords & Sorcery, part of the Stranger Cycle.
2. Just finished the 3rd in that series
3. Starting a new Atlantis story, my 4th
4. Got a big fat notebook to start worldbuilding my #epicfantasy novel
Life is good.

I’m not much of a James Bond fan, but I figure I should get a Bond villain in the mix, and this one epitomizes the over the top nonsense of the series.

Buffy and Riverdale! Sunnyvale could easily be the next town up the highway. Can’t you see Buffy’s steamy scenes with Archie? Or better yet, Betty and Spike?
Name movie or tv universes that aren’t connected but should be.
