    Chapter/POV structure

    G.R.R. Martin does this in the Song of Ice and Fire novels (Game of Thrones) each chapter is written from the POV of one character then it will switch to another character in the next.

    New Map Tool

    I'd also recommend Profantasy, I use Campaign Cartographer for my maps. Now I am also learning to use Photoshop to make maps, you can get dozens of free brushes online.

    The Leftovers

    Unfortunately, I don't have HBO, I have to wait to see GOT when it comes out on blu ray but I have seen the trailer and it does look interesting but I think seeing depressed people every week could get old. I'll give it a chance when Netflix gets the first season.

    Wheel of Time series?

    I love Game of Thrones, I think HBO has done a great job translating the novels into a series and I think that the same could be done with Wheel of Time. I think there would be too much story to make WOT into a movie. What does everyone think, would Wheel of Time make a good series or movie?

    Software question on character builds

    I've never heard of The Mythic Guide to Characters, where did you buy that? As for software, I use Snowflake, it does a good job. There is also New Novelist.

    What's the funniest research you've ever had to do for your fantasy novel?

    The weirdest was when I was doing research for a character who has different sexual fetish's. I was reading on some and could not believe what some people are into! There are men who actually enjoy pooping and peeing in their pants! Some like to dress like babies and wear diapers and others just...

    Rewriting the Star Wars Prequels

    Not me, the puppet Yoda looks like a puppet the CGI version looked real. As for the prequels, 1 was terrible. A little boy (Jake Lloyd was a terrible actor) flew a fighter into space and destroys a trade federation vessel was just dumb. They should have had Annakin as just a minor character to...

    Trad vs. Indie Publishing: A False Dichotomy

    I'm not sure agree with the OP link, especially this I've read a lot of good self published books, I am probably going to self publish my novel. I have a friend, Steven Saylor who writes great historical fiction and he publishes the tradition way, he said that it is so hard to get a book deal...

    Naming your worlds

    I think I've narrowed my choices down to two, which sounds better, Enaria or Elyria? I found Elyria is a real city in Ohio but I liked the name.

    How do you create your cover art?

    I agree with the others, I'm lucky that I also do both 2d and 3d art using Photoshop, Lightwave, Daz, Bryce and Vue.

    Naming your worlds

    That's the same problem I'm having, nothing I've come up with screams epic fantasy to me like Alegasia or Narnia.

    Naming your worlds

    This is the problem I'm having, I'm working on my map and I have the names of locations but I can't decide on a place name, I'm torn between Atysia, Versayus, Evarum, Anolia, of course these are just my first choices. I don't know why this is so hard, I created 3 new languages (elvish, dwarfish...
