Finding the Time

Time. It's one of the most challenging pieces needed to weave a fascinating story. Even though all one has to do is type or scribble or memorize a certain line or bit of dialogue, Time is a necessity that every writer must have.

Without Time, a story will never have be able to spread its wings and soar above the tallest of buildings, but run over hot coals like a toddler whom is still learning to stand up on their own two feet.

All writers need the Time to sit down and plan the story out, even if just a little, and for working adults this may be nearly impossible with a potential family, or just going out with friends or seeing a movie and paying bills. It's stressful to think that the Time one could be writing and expressing oneself and thinking of grand ideas could come to bite one in the ass, yes the ass, when one should be doing more important and critical things. However, if a story is brewing in one's head, and boggling on the mind, that itself is very important.

So, the moral of the story is, if you have a story, spend the Time to write it down because you might end up regretting it later!

A Must Read Series for any Fantasy Reader

Lately, with the backlash and reflection on the Twilight Series, the depressing extension of The Inheritance Cycle, and the void left by The Harry Potter Series, it has become difficult to find some truly good, dare I say, breathtaking, series that I can enjoy reading.

The Demonata Series, by Darren Shan (Cirque Du Freak, among others) is one of those great series.

It is a ten book series focusing mainly on three characters that, for better or for worse (excuse the cliche), are the saviors of humanity.

Now, I'm not going to spoil the books because that would be rude.

If you are looking for epic battles, intense relationships and morally grey-subject matter, then this series is for you!

The Demonata Series, by Darren Shan!

First book is "Lord Loss."
