World-Building

2019-11-06 World-Building - Iterative Development - One of the first questions asked at world-building panels is "how to get started?". Starting is scary when trying to build a world intended to be used for decades as opposed to a (relatively) smaller world for only a short story or two.

2016-12-21 Sand and Bone 10 and hair styles - Rutejìmo returns to Kosobyo City and finds himself in an unfamiliar civilization that only vaguely resembled his own. Also a little bit on hair.

2015-08-21 Tarsan Famlies, Building Cultures, and Naming - While writing a highly ritualized culture that is centered around families, how to name and address them can be one of the most complicated steps.

2015-08-19 Sand and Ash 03, Pacifism, and the Chosen One - The third chapter of Sand and Ash is now available. Also some discussions of warrior's sterility, Rutejìmo's pacifism, and Chimípu being the Chosen One.

2014-08-17 Miwāfu Glyphs Redux - Redrawing - Since I picked up a few new calligraphy pens for my birthday, I tried to write out Miwāfu and found that it was a bit more difficult than I thought. So I redrew them until they weren't difficult.

2014-07-05 Adding novel quotes - As part of the final steps for Sand and Blood, I've created a number of pages for the quotes that start every chapter.

2014-07-03 What is in a name? - One of the barriers of entry of Sand and Blood is the main character's name, Rutejìmo. As much as this hurts my chance of selling the book, there is a reason behind it.
