I've already covered how to write your villian, your protagonist, and your plot, but something that's just as important to the story is knowing how to build your world. This includes things like knowing how to write magic systems, how terrain/climate work, etc. and is the most technical part of writing your book. Just like... Continue Reading →
When I was still in elementary school, I mostly wrote fanfiction for creative writing assignments. Often, many of my stories were retellings of fairy tales or had something to do with Barbie. The two stories I remember the most were 1). Frog and Toad meets the Barbie Spy Squad where Frodo and Sam were working... Continue Reading →
After reading Fellowship of the Rings, I obviously didn't stop to take a break, take some time to process the greatness of what I had read, maybe grab a snack. Nope. I immediately jumped to The Two Towers, because patience, what's that? I had made it my mission at that point to absorb all Tolkien... Continue Reading →
After hearing the unfortunate and deeply angering news that Greta Gerwig is going to destroy The Chronicles of Narnia series, I have decided to re-read the books so that when the gut-wrenching time comes where I have to review her monstrosity, I'll at least know what I'm talking about when it comes to the lore....

The world known as Middle Earth that was created by the great author and professor J.R.R. Tolkien has reached millions of people ever since the publishing of his first book The Hobbit.

Yes, I can hear your mixed cheers, boos, and silence. However, if you've read my review on The Silmarillion, you'll... Continue Reading →
Coming to the simplest part (in my opinion) of how to write a book, it's time to talk about the plot, i.e. the story itself. If you haven't already read the other two posts on how to write your villian and your protagonists, I highly suggest that you go do so before reading this since... Continue Reading →
The Screwtape Letters is a novel written by Christian apologist and author C.S. Lewis (the same dude who wrote The Chronicles of Narnia) that showcases the temptations that humans struggle with through the view of the demons doing the tempting. When I read this book toward the end of my freshman year of highschool, the... Continue Reading →
Continuing on with my series about how to write a book, it's time to talk about the character that your book centers around: your protagonist. Your protagonist is the main character who is trying to survive or stop whatever the villian is doing. It's very important to know how to write this character, otherwise your... Continue Reading →
Villians are what really push the story foward and are the ones who make your story interesting. After doing so many reviews of T.V. shows and books (most of which have been on books/shows that were poorly written), I have realized that having a strong villian is one of the most crucial elements of your...
