I suspect that a lot of books fall into the #SwordandSaga subgenre, especially since it is the one that more closely resembles #DungeonsandDragons themed adventures that typically feature 4 to 6 main characters. Examples Conan the Barbarian - 1 or 2 The Crystal Shard - 5 Lord of the Rings - 8

Fun theory to think about: "Artistic Determinism" There's no such thing as free will or creativity. Everything in the universe a clock on the subatomic particle level, a machine in which everything is predetermined. Thus people aren't really creative. They're just destined to create things. 😉

I recently bought a book about Irish Gaelic for my brother-in-law. Then I started reading it... Now I have to get him a different gift or the same book, because I want to keep the book.

I cannot emphasize enough that people need to read. Anything and everything. Read shit you don't understand, read about points you don't agree with, read someone's praise AND criticism of something you love. You cannot stop learning. You cannot get lazy or complacent. Don't let them dumb you down.

I’m reading A Wizard of Earthsea to my 11yo and he just keeps EXPLODING with excitement over it all. He thinks the words he doesn’t know are ancient magic, like in the story. “I bet they’re not even in urban dictionary!” No baby they’re just in regular old dictionaries lol ❤️❤️❤️

#BOOKREVIEW "Here be dragon clichés..." by Richard Sexsmith is an odd bit of fun. Harold and Malcolm are charlatans pretending to be dragonslayers, which is a fun premise, but it is the writing and humour, which embraces literary tropes and clichés, that raises this story to a fine art. ☆☆☆☆☆

Also Real Book Clubs don't ask for gratuities. Real Book Blogs do it for free. Bookstagram / Booktok is an overpriced scam that won't sell a single book. Facebook ads get Likes, not sales. Literary Magazines are good marketing, but edit your work BEFORE submitting.

Today we contacted 5 fantasy book clubs regarding getting our magazine in front of their readers, potentially boosting the careers of over 30 indie authors. What did you do today to help out your fellow indie authors??? #fantasyauthors
