Budapest! Took this photo myself and very unrelated to the text next to this photo. Or is it? Have a great week!

It continues! How nice, isn’t it? We have a New Chapter for The Pilgrim of Cele from Kathy Hussey! Many thanks!

I sure find the way it is going interesting. Some new characters, also good. Now, keep in mind it is entertaining to introduce new characters and have their facets appear, but don’t be afraid to play with ‘someone else’s’ characters. It might seem odd to do, and I feel that not only in the Afterworld Saga but also in the Pilgrim of Cele authors may feel an inhibition to toy with the characters existing, and rather introduce their own that they may know.

Go out there and get into the previous character’s shoes! Try them out. It is difficult for sure, but read in between the lines and look at the character and think: ‘If I pick up this character, how would (s)he react to X? or Y? What happens if they are put in a dire situation?’

It is definitely easier to pick up something you know, create someone you are comfortable with, but it is more challenging and you learn more by going a mile in someone else’s shoes, or some else’s character! So try it out! Don’t be afraid!

The Afterworld Saga is pending an update from Ashley Khue Pham so I hope she can supply it soon! Thereafter, Nnubia Ogbuefi will carry the torch further. I suppose this serves as a nice little reminder. Further, attached all previous writers, go out there and get into those uncomfortable little shoes! :D

Further, this is a shameless plug to my story I will be posting here — 2024. It is about, well, check it out! Hope you enjoy it and as a result, please also feel free to submit any writing you may have to The Unending Tales!
