| First topic message reminder :
Be sure to swing by my facebook page to see daily posts based on a daily theme!
Serenity Sunday - for the more spiritually inclined characters and those for whom the spirit realm is their chosen battlefield, your clerics, elementaldancers, mikos, monks, priests, priestesses, soul-forgers, and witches, Gods, daemons and ghosts.
Magick Monday - for the arcanists, the enchanters, necromancers, shadowmancers, sorcerers, soul-wielders, and wizards and magick itself in all its many grand, and sometimes terrifying forms.
Temp. Tuesday - dedicated to all those secondary characters who never really get a chance to shine...or find themselves killed off before their time. Gbk, Tinalia, Narendra, Ifan...
Wicked Wednesday - the villains must have their day, too. This day is for the connivers, the schemers, the betrayers, the ones with the ulterior motives and the general bad guys you really want to see get their comeuppance
Throwdown Thursday - a day set aside for the Defenders, the elementalblades, the fighters, fight-slaves, knights, shadow guards and shadow warriors. In general, the martial combatants and everything that goes with them from armor to weapons.
WTF Friday - as anyone who's been following the Tome Series might guess, this day is for everyone's favorite bandit, Scorpio. Of course, this will also extend to the other rogues out there, the thieves and spies. A day for tricks and traps!
Insane Saturday - a day for the crazy, insane, mad and generally mentally unstable. These are the ones you don't want to find yourself alone with on a dark night. Let's delve into psychosis in all its dark manifestations.

| It's Tidbit Tuesday and randomness is the rule of the day on my facebook page yet again! Swing by and check it out! https://www.facebook.com/aj.culpepper.3 All in all with regards to the writing front, I'm feeling rather pleased with myself. Not to toot my own horn, but I accomplished quite a bit. Over the last two nights alone I wrote almost twenty pages over four chapters. I developed a new main character quite nicely and fleshed out a secondary character with a twist that surprised even me! I love it when things happen in my writing that I don't expect. Hopefully that means my readers won't expect them either. I can't express how happy I am with the way things are turning out. Hopefully things will continue at this pace... Right now when I go back to my writing, I'll be tackling Malinovyy and working on developing another secondary character. With luck she'll turn out as well as Luca has been Onward to the next chapter! | |

| It's Tidbit Tuesday yet again, dear readers, so be sure to swing by my facebook page and check out all the oddities of the day https://www.facebook.com/pages/AJ-Culpepper/163553843710608?ref=hl So much has happened this past week that I'm surprised at what I accomplished. Surprised and pleased. Not only have I managed to get quite a lot of reading done (I finished Jill Braden's "Tempt the Devil" and "Seraphim 266613336 Wings" by Mamoru Oshii and Satoshi Kon is brilliant thus far), but I've also continued in watching anime with my mom (Avatar: the last airbender), finished watching Karin: Chibi Vampire with my hubby and started "Deadman Wonderland". On top of all that I've gotten quite a lot fo writing done. Almost fifteen pages in the last two nights alone. It gives me a great sense of accomplishment and hope for what I can do on my vacation at the end of October. My hopes are high and my goals even higher. In that respect, I feel that the quality of my writing that I've done has also exceeded my expectations. Characters are coming more into their own and the plot more three-dimensional to my way of thinking. Honestly in some instances, things have happened that I did not plan and that's when I know the characters and the scene has truly taken on a life of its own. It's fantastic. It's thrilling. And it's a wee bit terrifying, but life's no fun without a good scare, right? | |

| Well, my dear readers, here we are with yet another Tidbit Tuesday! I hope you enjoy the oddness overflowing my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/AJ-Culpepper/163553843710608?ref=hl On the updating front, wow! Surprisingly enough, I've accomplished quite a lot this week. Not only have I managed to get quite a bit of reading done and even a good amount of anime watching, but I've written almost ten pages over three chapters. I've pulled off a rather sticky, tricky hook, and I am now working on a pivotal fight scene where my star-blessed tsentr, Neala, gets her first real chance to shine as a person. Quite happy with it thus far. I hope to get a bit more written before the end of the day. Also, I am rapidly closing in on page 250! I think something special should be done to celebrate. What do you think, dear readers? Should I share a character profile? Do a character interview? Share some behind-the-scenes tidbits? Create a poll? This time around, I think YOU should be the ones to decide, so post your answers or ideas here and I will choose one for next Tidbit Tuesday, 9/15/15! | |

| It's Tidbit Tuesday and as usual, oddness reigns on my facebook page! I hope you enjoy! https://www.facebook.com/AJ-Culpepper-163553843710608/timeline/?ref=hl And as promised, dear readers, I've selected one of your many (and sometimes ingenious) suggestions for how to celebrate reaching page 250 in "Rahasya"'s first draft. Here are 10 behind-the-scenes tidbits! 1) All the names in the world of Kore, from characters to places, mean something in different real-world languages connected to the cultures they're drawn from. Kore itself is named after the maiden Greek Goddess, Kore, who descended into the Underworld and became Persephone. Riya's vitsa name, Mayur, is a Hindi name meaning 'peacock' which is her clan's emblem. The realm of Arswyd in the ForeverGreen means 'horror' in Welsh which, given the kingdom's history, makes perfect sense. Try the names with translate.google.com you might see Kore in a whole different light! 2) I hate beginning chapters. It can take me forever, moving sentences around before I find the right combination to bring the reader up-to-date and into current events for a character. 3) My dog's named Fenrir after the monstrous demon-wolf of Norse mythology destined to devour the God Odin during Ragnarok. He's not evil-tempered but he can destroy a table in 3 seconds flat with his tail. 4) My favorite food is pizza. 5) Of all the characters in the books I've written so far, I'd have to say my favorite character is Lady Morgan from the "Seers' War" books. Thus far she's been my most favorite to consistently write and to read. 6) In order to get into the mood to write, first I must have a cup of tea. Seriously, I cannot write without tea. Even if I'm not drinking it at the moment, tea must be present at all times. Second, before I start a book, I collect songs that I find to be character themes or scene-themes to events planned. When I'm working on a particular character or scene/event, I listen to the song then write. Sometimes I even bounce back and forth between listening and writing, but I never listen while I'm writing. I find noise of any sort terribly distracting while I'm writing. 7) I do my best writing between 9 pm and 3 am. Anything outside of that is just gravy. Although I love all animals, my favorite are cephalopods. 9) My favorite childhood memories are of staying up late to watch "Forever Knight", "Tales from the Crypt", and "Gundam Wing". 10) My favorite non-writing activity is reading manga or watching anime. Well, dear readers, I hope you've enjoyed this sneak-peak into my world. I'm still hard at work on "Rahasya". In fact I'm on page 252 and hoping to make it to 253 before I crash for the day. Hopefully I'll have more of an update for you next week! | |

| Hello, dear readers! Well, here it is another Tidbit Tuesday Hopefully you'll enjoy the randomness on my ol' fb. https://www.facebook.com/AJ-Culpepper-163553843710608/timeline/ To my wonderful readers who follow my daily posts, I apologize for missing the last few days. Due to a severe bronchial infection, I've been rather laid up. Now that I'm at least able to function somewhat, I'm back not only with the daily posting but writing as well! Even if I'm a bit late with today's. It's amazing how illness can work on the creative mind. Ideas have blossomed, solutions to plot holes and missing character/story depth have presented themselves, oh, 'tis a beautiful thing! I guess you could say the first draft of "Rahasya" has evolved to the next generation. What does this mean, precisely? I'm not exactly sure. You'll have to bear with me. I'm still sick to a certain degree and heavily drugged It should be interesting to see what comes of it though, right? I only hope I can do it justice. On other fronts, another bright side to having been sick, I've gotten a LOT of reading done and watched uber loads of anime. I’m more than halfway through “07-Ghost” and have come to the conclusion, since the anime followed it pretty closely up to where it left off, that the powers that be simply must finish the anime with the rest of the manga! I watched “07-Ghost” again, some “Kekkaishi” and “Black Butler” and "Deadman Wonderland" from beginning to end for the third time. After a couple of years of not seeing it at all, I'd forgotten how gruesome it could be and how powerful the characters and their backstories are. Yes, I know it diverged quite a bit from the manga and deserves a second season to sew up some huge plot holes, not to mention answer some important questions left hanging, but it still stands as one of my favorite anime. I'd forgotten how much I love Crow and Shiro On that note, this was the first time I got to see the first OVA, “The Red Knife Wielder”. It was cool to see one of my all-time favorite characters get an OVA all his own and touch more on his backstory that was only glossed over in the manga. Today, I’m celebrating my 10th wedding anniversary with my wonderful husband. So Wicked Wednesday’s post might be a bit late too | |
