The latest from Dragons and Spaceships: The blog for fantasy and sci-fi writers
Who the heck are we to tell you anything about writing?
Good question! After all, we could be four corgis in a trench coat for all you know.
Scribe Forge is a group of indie authors in sci-fi, fantasy, and romance with 50+ published books between us.
When we're not geeking out over the latest episode of Doctor Who or losing our minds over the latest season of X-Men '97 (holy shit to all of it), we're nerding out over everything sci-fi, fantasy, and romantasy writing.
Seriously, collectively, we've spent 25 years learning EVERYTHING we possibly could about it.
We've read every book, blog post, and article we could find (including some writing books that are out of print and can only be uncovered in the back corner of a library).
We've spent unhealthy amounts of time with every mapmaking and writing tool out there, just for funsies.
Hell, Eva even tried to pass off a fantasy map as a legitimate part of a work presentation so she could do it at the office (no one was impressed but it was a really good map).
One of our team did a degree in Anthropology for the SOLE REASON of learning how to worldbuild better by understanding cultures.
Another reads Scientific American for fun and takes copious notes for worldbuilding. And my pastime is psychoanalyzing strangers for character backgrounds (I'm fun at parties).
Together, we've spent thousands of hours learning about writing and a couple hundred more streamlining all that knowledge into guides and workbooks that are simple, to-the-point, and less overwhelming than our 25 years of trying every character questionnaire out there, so that others can write their stories sooner, with more confidence and less stress than we went through.
