What inspired you?

[Akhilles]

That is fantastic. I think exploring unexplored mythologies is a way to bring them out to the forefront. I'm truly happy you are doing this.

[Akhilles]

I love when authors can create two different books in the same universe and somehow connect them together. It's a complex idea, but one that, if executed well, just adds so much depth. Just like the Dune universe.

[Akhilles]

You have no idea how many ideas have just "popped" into my head. But that's the best thing about being creative; we are always open to new ideas. We don't shun them away as weird. In fact, I'd say that weird is normal for us!

[Akhilles]

Mental health issues are something people need to be aware of. I think these days, they make "mental health" seem cool, almost like a superpower. It's great to see you focus on the struggles people have with it. Because in reality, that's what dealing with mental health is; a struggle.

i agree 100% , we just need to have enough courage to actually post them

[Akhilles]

There's that, I agree. But one step at a time, I suppose. I'm glad you followed the path of courage. Hope your story gains the recognition it deserves.

[fleurravenbooks]

thank you so much

[ivanskilling]

It definitely does. As long as you don't tell them that they're the base inspiration for a character who's a murderer.

[Akhilles]

Shh. No one needs to know that! Or the fact that they die a gruesome death which you kind of enjoyed writing. Lol.

[Akhilles]

You know what they say; if you can't change them, write them (well, somebody must have said that).

[Akhilles]

I love the way you allowed yourself to explore your creativity. From stones to faeries. I think that's what the process of creativity looks like; a series of links that leads to an outcome.

[Akhilles]

I love it when characters have depth. Using different cultures to explain this is definitely a bonus.

[Akhilles]

You know what? It is okay to take inspiration. Anyone who says they don't want to take inspiration from something is just being too stubborn. I hope your story finds its audience

[Akhilles]

Personal relationships have so much plot points to offer. They even work because you know the emotions they create. I hope you find a great audience for your story.

[Akhilles]

So many awesome inspirations. But that's how great stories are born; by taking inspiration from things that exist and turning them into something magnificent. It's the writing equivalent of the metaphor of taking a coal and turning it into a diamond.

[Akhilles]

Childhood daydreams are pretty impactful, aren't they? I love how you took that idea and turned it into a story.

[Akhilles]

You are such a charmer!

[ivanskilling]

No one shall know what kind of story they've inspired!
Should put that disclaimer at the end of the movie: Any resemblance to people, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

[MizzHope]

It's definitely a hard thing! Writing based on reality is really hard and I just realized it just now. But it's another growth for me since I gained more knowledge. Good thing about those two is that they balance each other, light and dark. So I accepted the challenge and I will do my best to execute those two very well.

[annaportia]

For my two comics, my inspiration is actually rooted in childhood games that my siblings and I used to play. In some ways, by using the same characters, (though obviously changing some things) I feel like I'm recording a special part of my life that though now is over, I'm still able to relive it. Perhaps best of all, through my comics, I'm able to share some of this fun, and joy, with other people, and maybe make their day that much brighter!
