It's so visually stunning AND packed with great info (I feel like most I see are one or the other).<br /><br />I'm not sure if I'll ever get to making a binder of my own, but I'll definitely be using this as inspiration regardless. Especially for character and world development!<br /><br />(Also thanks so much for the fun links! Now I'm going to go into an Etsy spiral for the next hour.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012003625094224152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672523172773330793.post-71075860905672432712015-08-01T16:22:35.580-04:002015-08-01T16:22:35.580-04:00these look super great.

I finished a book!" ... Now that I think about it, they probably thought I was very bad at reading or something. XD<br /><br />I'm still on cloud nine, but I'm taking a bit of a break this week. I've been doing some world-building stuff for the series, but I'm not going to touch the second draft or start outlining the sequel for a few more days. Unless I get impatient.

I have muses that won't leave me alone, I...lol! I have muses that won't leave me alone, I suppose. Unfortunately I got so busy with moving over the past two months that my writing got put on the backburner, but this week I've been planning it out again. My characters got sick of me ignoring them and all ganged up on me at once; nothing like two elves, a halfling, an orc and several human spellcasters demanding attention at once. XD<br /><br />Hmm... I don't really work that way. I mean, I don't take something from this world and turn it into something fantasy, or at least not intentionally. Like for "The Acolyte's Map", the general idea for the story came from one of my customers who mentioned her mail going mysteriously missing and then me running with the idea of a mail carrier hording mail. "Hidden Magic" came from my D&D game; I had to come up with an origin for one of the magical artifacts I'd thrown at the characters and explain why the "evil" mage knew Meren.<br /><br />I haven't come up with any detailed plot ideas for the next one, but I know that this is going to be a sort of origin story itself; it's going to take place prior to "The Acolyte's Map" so I get to come up with a backstory as to why Raff is prone to fits of violence. For the bigger picture, though, I'm working with the world itself; I'm pulling priesthoods from around that globe because I'm trying to sort out what exactly has been going on with the gods.<br /><br />Rambling, but I'm not really sure how to answer that...Meri Greenleafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10524790636777606009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672523172773330793.post-57989716511333709262012-08-08T02:57:38.578-04:002012-08-08T02:57:38.578-04:00Wow Meri!

XD<br /><br />Aww, don't worry! I've been neglecting blogging in general this year. I finished posting Meren's story, blogged a photoshoot, and did maybe two or three posts in my art blog this year. I really have to get back to my poor neglected blogs.

If only I had a spell to drop the cavern down on his head or something! I'm *very* limited in the kind of magic I can use right now- basically Charm and things that cancel out Charm and magic, one or two fire ones, and Silence.<br /><br />Unfortunately, no, not for acid. I can protect us from flame, cold, lighting, undead, and evil, but not acid. The most I can hope for here is Charming the dragon into thinking that keeping its mouth sealed shut is a good idea. Protection from Evil won't even be much help because the acid itself would still be able to hit us. <br /><br />And, honestly, I think I may need the Tongues spell more than the group Protection from Evil- that's the level I only get one spell at a time for. On the plus side, I can pray for multiple individual Protection from Evils, so I can probably hit three people with that- that would at least cover three of our fighters.Meri Greenleafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10524790636777606009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672523172773330793.post-12265605796565253812011-02-18T19:13:23.620-05:002011-02-18T19:13:23.620-05:00hopefully, we can use the potion and not have to k...hopefully, we can use the potion and not have to kill the dragon. unfortunately, i do believe we have to kill the goblin king. btw, do you happen to have a spell that will block his breath weapon? evidently, it;s a LINE of acid, not a misty type thing.aymanhttp://aol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672523172773330793.post-23653778404961279762011-01-06T12:49:50.264-05:002011-01-06T12:49:50.264-05:00Whoot!
