Does anyone remember the cards? The life changing, wonderfully clever business cards my entire career will be built on?
They have arrived.

So go on etsy and pay some totally cool artist to make some cards for you instead of some big fancy printing company.
In other news, people seemed to like World Building 101. The response was positive, and I got requests to do the Character tutorial. So I will be doing a character tutorial. However it’s going to be big. How big you ask?
How To Fake Life*
A Four Part Series On Creating Compelling Characters
Part 1: The Protagonist
Part 2: The Ensemble
Part 3: The Antagonist
Part 4: The Dialog
This is in four parts because I sort of have this crazy love affair with creating characters. It’s a problem. Not quite like my caffeine problem, but it’s up there as there is some form of a high involved. I also have a lot of information/techniques/shortcuts that I’m wanting to post and I think it helps to break all of it down into key sections. There’s a lot to cover and consider. Also I know it can get extremely overwhelming when you have someone info dump ten pages of tips ranging from Cambellian theories about hero archetypes stored in the collective consciousness to the virtues of politely stalking strangers. All the muppet pictures in the world couldn’t make that bearable.

So yes, stay tuned. It won’t be coming out immediately due to another project. But, it will be coming out.
