I have no idea what any of my fiction is "about." It's a meaningless question to me. Two of the alpha readers on #Laserblasted, however, both highlighted this section and said "Here! This is your theme/core truth!"

“This is America, we don’t—”
“Yes we do.”

So maybe my books ARE about something? Huh. I wonder when that happened? #writing

When writing fantasy ancestries for an RPG, I have to resist the urge to describe too much. I have such a perfect image in my head. However, being less specific means the reader can use their own imagination. It also means I can give more freedom to an artist illustrator. Also, I want to leave room for individuality. Members of most species and creature types should have considerable individual variation. This is one of the lines that separates inspiration from creativity. #rpg #writing #fantasy
