Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a scene in Well of Ascension that takes place directly after Vin and Elend have sex?
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

I try not to think about Twilight too much.This article made me realize how bad it really has gotten. While reading it, I realized that I can count the people that I know who actually have read a book in the last four years on one hand. It really amazes me just how far reading has declined.
Once I might have said the same but Twilight changed that :p
I always thought that it would be cool if the last word of the series was ... flicker ...Oh my God, I think I would go insane. I'd wake up in the middle of an empty field with a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a sawed off shotgun in the other. My life would be ruined by that one little word.
"The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason.A great quote from a great series. I also like this one.
The first law of reason is this: what exists, exists, what is, is and from this irreducible bedrock principle, all knowledge is built. It is the foundation from which life is embraced.
Thinking is a choice. Wishes and whims are not facts nor are they a means to discover them. Reason is our only way of grasping reality; it is our basic tool of survival. We are free to evade the effort of thinking, to reject reason, but we are not free to avoid the penalty of the abyss that we refuse to see. Faith and feelings are the darkness to reasons light. In rejecting reason, refusing to think, one embraces death."
