I totally get why you don't right now. But hopefully the urge will return some time in the future!

Agreed @thaddeus6th!!!

Here's one from me; hopefully it'll help those of you who are a little low on inspiration... A post on using images and vision boards to help your story evolve.

I wrote a brand new Christmas carol for my students--It's Christmas on my Phone. Any time I write a song that causes a student to spontaneously paraphrase Nietzsche, I consider it a success.

That is an A+ article. Mad props for the Green Knight and Mad Count shoutouts - the Green Knight in particular is a lovely model.

Thanks - I once converted my own Green Knight, but I'd love to get hold of one of the original metal ones. I probably ought to have mentioned the Death Korps horse (if it is one) and those weird mutant things the dark elves ride, but that's enough horses for now!

I doubt I'm the only nerd out there whose Christmas traditions include finding time to revisit Sir Terry Pratchett's take on the festive sea...

Double blog post time!

My top 10 of 2019 and My List of Recs for New Fantasy Readers based on what they like

All recommendations for the latter list welcomed! The former, needless to say, is unimprovable on as my taste is flawless.

Yeah, I think that's a brilliant blog. I never thought about LOD that way, but it's there in what Le Carré used to call "people sitting at a desk across from one another and doing violence to each with words."
