I think that one of the best things I've learned is that you don't have to have a classical fantasy setting for a fantasy book. I created another world as my setting instead. It is set on an earth-sized moon circling a huge planet in a solar system similar to ours. This gave me many ideas around religious expressions based on what happens in the sky and the extreme tidal effects of the seas. One result was that when the earth-sized moon is between the huge planet and the sun. When that happens it looks like a huge eye is looking down on the people (the moon-shadow being the iris). That is just one cool thing that this brought out. There have been several other pieces of advice that's been really helpful.

Probably not. It's a bit too far to travel for me.

Hello everyone. My name is Tomas Bergström and I am from sweden. I got to know Brandons work by way of "wheel of time". I have now read his work as well. The reason I came to this site was because there is a forum for writing excuses here. I have some ideas I'm trying to shape into a book and have found w.e. a wonderful source of insight. Some people may know me from dragonmount and theoryland. So ..., se ya.
