This is how I research for my upcoming fantasy novel. I know I said I'm not an avid reader but I also have a commitment to fans or potential readers. I am striving to be the best that I can be as an author. I'm the captain of the ship. Do not jump overboard just because there may be small fracture. I may sail through a storm but that storm will be weathered with determination and satisfaction. Leaving you with a book of rare beauty. So what do you say, are you going to set sail with me? Come on a epic journey and together we will find what we seek. You know what that is?
My fantasy book is Eden Origins, title still in process. Brief Synopsis: The world is decaying due to humankind abusing the power of nature also known as Maat (May-it). Every time they rage war or fight using their powers it puts a strain on Eden(world) and it's slowly deteriorating the environment. Rivers run dry, trees lack nutrition, and above all, some animals are extinct. There is no such ideology as good and evil. Only greed, love, the thirst for understanding, and evolving will propel mankind forward. Eden is on its last leg and the people need to work as one and retrieve the Light and Dark dogmas. Also known as the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and end. Join the battle for survival. What I love about this book is Maat is an Egyptian word meaning balance. (Google it). Anyways when my characters rage war or fight. They have to use their own energy alongside nature energy. If a character should lack a skill he places a great strain on Eden. Thus the banishing of Maat begin. Also know as humankind being disconnected from one another. How I research my historical fiction novel was watching movies and TV shows on slavery. I already had my plot figured out. I was mainly watching for clothing, some dialect, or maybe names. Such as should the slaves call their owners "Master or Massa" and much more. The one book I read was the "Help" a historical fiction novel. In my earlier post title "Be the author of Your own Destiny" Rooks of the Raven out ranked the Help. Let me tell you its not a easy goal but like I said give me time! |
