Every fictional story requires some form of worldbuilding. So why not become exceptionally GOOD at it?When I started writing stories in the Wanted Hero universe, I had a hope that someday, my kids would want to assist me in building this fictional world. That together, our talents and imaginations would create something to truly entertain those around us. When Simon took an interest in these stories, and wanted to know more about how the world worked…we started worldbuilding together.In today’s

Wanted Hero was originally designed to be expandable — to have a creative world without limits — a place to connect ideas for stories and give them a home.As a reader myself, I was always interested in both the ‘end’ goals and the ‘creative’ goals of authors. What did they want me to feel, think, and what kind of experience did they want to leave with me when the story was over?I’m going to share those reasons, as an author myself, with you in this episode.Make sure to sign up for my weekly

One thing I’ve learned about podcasting over the years, and I’m terrible at it, is clarity.At first, I thought it was the problem of consistency. But that’s not it. Whenever I have the time, or made the time, and I have material, there was no problem with me being consistent. It didn’t matter if I had to get up at 2 AM or stay up till 2 AM. It didn’t matter. I would get it done.The problem has always been about getting to a certain point in my progress, and then I wonder about the message I’m trying

If I decided to walk away from it all, would you follow me? I’m talking about social media. The bane of my existence. I said ‘cya’ on Facebook today, and it made me smile.Thing is, no matter what I do, how hard I try or work, I have never achieved even a fraction of the results I see posted by other indie authors. Even when I buy their books, courses, and religiously mimic what they teach. The results I get, each and every time, bring me to one of three conclusions:• I suck as a student and MUST be

There’s nothing I can say that won’t be covered in this podcast, so I’m not going to try. This all started with the article DEMONI VANKIL is being published!, and then DEMONI VANKIL is being...uhhhh.

Episode #10: Diversity is BS. Write Your Own !@#!! Story

2023/09/16

Why is it that other people have to alter and pervert the works of creatives? Doesn’t matter what their life-view happens to be, or how they live their life…why do they have to ruin the works of others? I believe it’s because their own creative ability is so weak, they cannot make their points through their own stories.I’d like MORE stories to be told, not less. From everyone. That’s what I did back in 2005 when I started selling digital comic books in PDF form. When I made my very first sale, it

Today is the second half of the conversation with my son, Evan, on his passion for the Wheel of Time fantasy series.There’s a lot that can be learned from a good fantasy series. For some, we discover who we really are. For others, we might find out what we think of a thing, or an issue we face in real life. Many readers are able to make better sense of the world around them by living through the lives of others.That was the case with my eldest son and the Wheel of Time.The conversation was

Sometimes you have to record at the earliest and only opportunities. That was the case with this episode, and though the sound quality isn’t the best — we only had two lapel mics — you’ll get a front row seat with me and my family chatting about fantasy books.This started with wondering how my teen daughter was enjoying the Disney Villain books. The moment the question was posed, my daughter Asia threw her hands into the air and yelled, "I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY!"…and the mic was passed to her.Enjoy
