I shall not be playing any #boardgames for a while, but these were fun. Faraway, Talisman and Azul. Quick reviews in alt-text.

Different civilisations in your world will have different attitudes towards the various aspects you're creating. All you need is one person from another land to ask, "What's that about?"

Is there anything that helps you get into a creative mood?

Sex. I'm definitely more open to the muse after a good shag.

How cerebral do you consider your creative work?

I get these weird people in my head, usually doing something strange. Strong images that start the work , or form the emotional turning point. Writing these out gives me an idea of which one's worth pursuing. I tend to deconstruct afterwards, then that helps with the edit and where the overall arc is going.

Share a line from your WIP where a character is lying. Do they get away with it?

"No. Now, wait a minute. I can get you more mon- More- Mo- Mmmm." Lonnie's lying breath failed him and deep horror crept into his eyes.

How do the people of your world describe their leaders? Do they use the correct terminology, like King or Great Leader? The general throng usually has much more colourful terminology at hand.
