In my medieval fantasy projects, you have to be well-to-do and/or well-connected for your kids to study anything beyond their own parents' trade. If you can afford it, people do study engineering, medicine, and others, and magic is studied exactly like any science.
Welcome to the first week of #DecemberWorldbuilders! This week is about SCIENCE (broadly speaking) (you can play along even if you're writing pre-industrial fantasy!)
Today's Q: Can anyone in your world participate in scientific research? Or is it reserved for elites?

I'm Fox, and I'll be writing about my WIP Grinks & Co. The MCs are Grinks, a goblin and part-time revolutionary; Taraltos, an elf and unemployed monster hunter; Laylee, a faun and forest mage; and Davik, a human and forest guide/regular hunter.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

I tend to catch myself making my characters' facial expressions as I write their scenes, even if I'm not actually describing the expressions.

Is there a part of your writing process that would surprise readers, if they knew about it? Does talking to yourself to work out scenes count? 😂 #writingq #WritingCommunity

Drohim liked Torvandin's sophistication, intelligence, good looks, and complete separation from the rugged, dirty life as a farmer and soldier that Drohim was sick of.

It's all about what the reader actually likes. When I was six, I hated reading because my mom made me read books like Bunnicula and Bugs Bunny Meets the Tasmanian Devil. Then I read A Little Book of Devils and Demons, and I was hooked.

Seff and Drohim do their best to not get killed by a necromancer who brings help and fights dirty.
This scene was one of the toughest for me to write, and editing it for clarity will take some effort. It's all part of the process.

I've spent hours looking up the proportions of various body parts to each other (the legs are generally X% of someone's height, etc.) for Grinks & Co., to help me realistically describe size differences during ... certain scenes.
Last day of #NovemberWorldbuilders! For those of you who have gone down rabbit holes researching random topics for your writing, tell me about it! What did you research? How did you implement it in your story or world?

#AwesomeCharacters
Across my various fantasy stories, people mostly walk or ride horses. The MCs of Prophecies, though, also travel by magical carriage, pirate ship, and gargantuan moth. Oh, and by falling through the bottom of a floating island.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

What methods of transportation do your characters usually use to get around?

Horses, ships (water, space, air), cars, walking, other?

Does transportation ever cause your characters difficulty?

I would love for people to talk about the complicated themes of personal development and self-actualization that my stories bring up, as well as the social issues like racism, power structures, and violence.
And I hope they go ooh-aah over the porny one.

What kind of conversations will your book inspire? I hope when I finally get my latest WIP out there that people will look at Sicilian culture as it is, not how it’s presented in movies #writingq #WritingCommunity

Seff considers her future as Drohim's protégé and a Blade of the Many in her own right ... or as an ordinary person who chose not to live a life of violence.

Working on rereading Transmetropolitan, and also reading an anthology called Daughters of Sycorax; Warren Ellis' Planetary is waiting for me at the library. After all that, I want to finish Parable of the Sower.

My Prophecies duology is full of random details that I added mostly for a chuckle, like the tumbleweed elemental or the "portmanticores" (scorpiowls, buffalosprey, etc.). I worked in lots of references to ancient mythology, folklore, and pop culture, and even names of authors I like, as Easter eggs.
#NovemberWorldbuilders friends! We're at the end of the month so you know what that means: broad questions with no particular theme! Tell me about something you put into your world for no reason other than that it brought you joy. Did you learn about something cool and want to add it? Talk about it!

I'm eating spaghettified spaghetti squash loaded up with oregano, tomato, feta cheese, and sautéed chicken. It's a pretty easy meal to make, and with only a few ingredients, and it's delicious.
