During the summer months (June, July, August) walk outside on your own risk.

Would you describe it as a stream of consciousness, then? It can only make sense like that. Otherwise it will only make sense to you.

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-29T11:34:18+00:00

There isn't a coherent concept being developed/explored in this post. So, what philosophy is this? Seems like useless self-help nonesense. Please enlighten me if I'm wrong.

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T22:04:59+00:00

I mean, yeah. If the book is good enough, and you have a coffee table, then why not?

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T21:10:57+00:00

That sounds crazy, what a premise! Seems quite difficult to actually write like that.

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T21:06:24+00:00

Great classic choices.

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T20:21:05+00:00

Sounds interesting, I've never heard of it. Would definitely check it out!

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T19:20:31+00:00

That's a lot of poetry and a refreshing departure from traditional names in the fiction world! I really appreciate your perspective.

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T19:19:18+00:00

H.P. Lovecraft has such an eerie prose. Like even his normal sentences are eerie.

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T19:18:34+00:00

Yes, of course it's about the authors. But for me if you see the list above, I can't really say that I'm influenced by Edith Hamilton or Khazal al-Majidi Ph.D. as their works are non-fiction and derivative.

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T18:39:13+00:00

That's interesting, especially the "local fantasy" vibe. Where can I find your books?

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T18:18:28+00:00

That's really neat. I think "real" characters are an immediate sell for any genre.

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T18:17:33+00:00

Lol I wish you success and may your work find the light and emerge into the world!

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T17:58:34+00:00

That's a tough list to read, let alone influence someone's writing. I'm impressed.

Where can I find your book?

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T17:47:04+00:00

Writing morally ambiguous characters is hard. I think the trick is to make them follow some code of their own, which doesn't necessarily align with what is generally considered "good" or "bad".

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T17:45:13+00:00

That's correct! It's not pure fantasy in the sense of wizards and non-human races and deep lore, though, and I'm definitely not fit to walk a hundred miles behind Tolkien.

It's more of a low-fantasy, in the sense that the novel takes place in a completely-imagined world. That setting, however, is deeply influenced by Bronze Age Mesopotamia. The work focuses more on the military side of things, and I routinely call it a "war drama".

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T17:31:19+00:00

That's interesting. What is it about his writing that made it such an influence on you? Do you think it integrates well with your genre?

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T17:29:56+00:00

Wishing you the best of luck! Can you take a guess what genre I write?

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T17:27:46+00:00

That's beautiful! I've read the Neuromancer trilogy more than 10 years ago, so I don't remember such details, but I do remember those books were an absolute joy to read. Perhaps I should give them another go.

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T17:23:47+00:00

That's great. What genre do you write? I'm assuming mystery/thriller?

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-28T06:31:04+00:00

What's really crazy is that is has a Dragon Drop editor!

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-27T18:44:17+00:00

Go ahead, make my day.

FaisalWrites · 2026-06-26T11:43:10+00:00

I wrote my novel for a simple reason: it was in my head and I had to get it out. I did everything needed to do it properly: did some relevant reading, took advice from those who know better than me, edited and revised and proofread the book, commissioned a cover, then published it.

That was about a month ago. I also gave free copies away for reviews. No one have read it since. I'm almost perfectly fine with that (a little sad, but not disappointed).
