The Edge: November 2014
http://hyperlinkzer.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Or should I say. Anyways. It's been a long time, but I finally have something to post! Yesterday (Sunday) was my piano teacher's annual studio recital, in which I performed two pieces by composer Franz Liszt: La Campanella and Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. The first of those didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, but the Rhapsody was good. My teacher's husband filmed it, so I thought I'd share it with you all. :) (If anybody actually visits this blog anymore XD). Hope you enjoyed. :). Links to this post.

From A Jagged Inkwell: Skilled Characters
http://jagswiftstorm.blogspot.com/2013/08/skilled-characters.html
Thursday, 22 August 2013. Should characters be perfect? Skilled in everything, flawless, all-knowing, and all-powerful? Of course not. Or at least–not most of the time. 'Perfect' (or seemingly perfect) can have their places sometimes. But should characters be the opposite? Having no virtues, no skills, no learning, and no motivation? I would give the same answer as to the above question. No–or at least rarely. I've recently read two books of the Staff and Sword. Series– A Cast of Stones. And A Hero's Lot.

Friday, 12 July 2013. Keeping Track of Characters. I may get somewhat technical later on. However, I will try to keep this post so that everyone can understand it. Some books have small casts–of maybe around fifty characters total. Then there's others, with larger casts, maybe 200 total characters. And then there's the Lord of the Rings, with millions of characters. Okay, maybe not millions. But it does have a lot. This means that if (when writing a later book in The Arboreal Shadow. Column is a special ...

Saturday, 28 June 2014. But epicness alone isn't enough. Epicness can be a taster to draw in readers, but it shouldn't be the full meal. Give a reader an epic story, and they'll probably remember it. But after it's been read enough times, the epicness wears thin. Reading about the same amazing scenes and magnificent structures over and over again can get tiring. But give them something that will stay with them forever. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

Monday, 11 August 2014. On Proving the Nonexistence of God. Let us assume that a divine being exists. Furthermore, this divine being, in addition to being immaterial and supernatural, is also omnipotent and omniscient. Any divine being possessing these characteristics could blind any non-divine being as to the existence of the divine being, and, if they wished, could make it appear that they never existed. Therefore, it is impossible for any non-divine being to prove the nonexistence of a divine being.

From A Jagged Inkwell: Sacrifice
http://jagswiftstorm.blogspot.com/2013/09/sacrifice.html
Saturday, 21 September 2013. This is the first in a (hopefully) series of posts co-written by me and fellow teenage author, R. A. H. Thacker, who can be found at Sunset Rising. This post can also be found at his blog. No, we’re not talking about human sacrifice. Or maybe we are. But we’re actually talking about self-sacrifice–and not some suicidal tribal custom, either. More specifically, how to use it in fiction. Why does sacrifice stir our hearts? Why does it affect us like nothing else? Therefore, I u...

Friday, 28 June 2013. Should you Create a Language? Quon you Desira ta Forme lein Lingyuanet? Translation: Do you want to create a language? Many writers will want to create languages for their worlds. And I don't mean just making up where the language came from, where it's spoken, etc. I mean making long lists of nouns and pronouns, adjectives and adverbs, prepositions and interjections. Creating the sentence structure, grammar, syntax, and punctuation. If you don't know the nine parts of speech in Engl...

The Edge: I got bored.
http://hyperlinkzer.blogspot.com/2014/08/i-got-bored.html
My work schedule has allowed me a few moments of free time! Ceeellllllleebrate good times COME ON. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything quick to post, so I guess I'll have to resort to a rough-edged portion of EDGE. Now for the dramatic flashback. The year was 2068. June 26. Dawn stretched out its early tendrils of light among the worn buildings of Carson City, Nevada. Indoors, the constant thud. Of the cops’ footsteps got on the last nerve of one particular tween. Wilbur Eiffelman had had enough.
