“"I feel the pressure building inside my head, and hear a noise like the winter winds raging through the dark pine trees, and my thoughts and feelings fall forward, tumbling over one another, and my blood, my magic blood, signs in my veins, and I take in a long, quenching breath, and my tongue feels heavy against my teeth and clumsy in my mouth, and my lips part, and there is a thickness in my throat, and I open my jaw, and my heart lifts, and … I … say … "Yes!"”

-  Paula Brackston, from The Winter Witch (via the-final-sentence)

Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there’s no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.

Legit Tip #137

legit-writing-tips:

Don’t make bold claims about a character’s abilities if you, the writer, aren’t prepared to do the research and back up those claims within the narrative. 

That is, don’t claim that your character is a brilliant military strategist if you have zero knowledge of strategy and aren’t prepared to do the research needed to prove your character’s ability in the text. If your character is meant to be a con artist, you need to do enough research on cons to at least somewhat realistically portray what this character does - or else your reader is going to completely drop their suspension of disbelief as they wonder how the heck your character hasn’t been arrested yet. 

You don’t have to become an expert. What you do need is enough of an understanding to hint at your character being as gifted/skilled/well-trained as you’re telling the audience they are.
