Intro All creatives—whether they’re a writer, an artist, or a musician—take inspiration from somewhere. And, a lot of the time—or, for me, most of the time—that inspiration comes from the work of other artists. Sometimes it’s a cool character that gets my gears turning, or an interesting plotline—it can be just about anything. A lot…

Intro The Stormlight Archive—which The Way of Kings is the first book of—is easily one of the most popular ongoing fantasy series. And for good reason, too; with a complex world and magic system, and a cast of equally complex characters to go along with it, it’s definitely one of the best fantasy series I’ve…

You can write the craziest, most ridiculous story, but, if you can make your characters’ emotions feel real, chances are that the story itself will feel more real too. You might be skeptical, but think about…

Intro The Legend of Drizzt—which Homeland is the first book of—has been one of my favorite series since I was in my early teens. I’ve got lots of fond memories of binge reading it over the course of multiple summer vacations (yes, it’s so long that it lasted me multiple summer vacations), so it’s kind…
