Okay dear reader. I have been battling the flu for a week now and today, it has won. I am signing off and am curling into bed with Daryl Dixon. That’s right! *cough cough hack hack* I am crying “uncle” and am spending the day watching The Walking Dead with a cup of green tea […]
Exploratory Dialogue
This is really fascinating to me. So the ID is the desires and pleasure centers…our instincts while the Super-ego is this “The super-ego works in contradiction to the id. The super-ego strives to act in a socially appropriate manner, whereas the id just wants instant self-gratification. The super-ego controls our sense of right and wrong […]
Id
I’ve always had a fascination with dreams. Long before I studied philosophy or psychology, I studied Jung and Freud and their analysis on dreams. I recorded every dream I had for nearly two years and occasionally, when I dream up another crazy saga, I write it down. Ever wonder what a fantasy writer dreams? Heheheee…Our […]
Speculation on “Elf”
Alfr is Old Norse for “River” and “Elfr” is the Anglicized name for “Alfr” meaning “River folk.” The Old Swedish term for River is “Alv.” Alv…Alf…Elf…River. “Alfheim” means “home of the river folk.” In Old Norse, most river names end in “-elfr” literally “river.” Klarelfr = Clear River in Varmland, Sweden Raumelfr = Thunder River […]

War
Good morning dear reader. There is a topic I’d like to write about this morning that is…not pleasant. War. When I say war we all usually have one that comes to mind. I usually think of Korea because of how the show M*A*S*H impacted me. I’m writing from the States, so I’ll be addressing the […]
Bergen Interviews His Author
“Hi! I’m Bergen,” says the 6’2’’ Viking Prince with a lax grin. “I am the author’s main character—” “You are not the main character.” Angela cuts Bergen off and throws a warning glare his way. Bergen scoffs and rolls his eyes. “I was supposed to be,” Bergen insists and continues. “To get started on Angela’s […]
Dimension
Dimension. A writer begins with a blank page. Like canvas. Empty. They add a name. A description is soon attached to the name. But the dark haired, lapis blue eyed female elf named Kallan is only just that. A name with a face. You still don’t care about her. You still don’t see her world. […]
