The mind to write? III

Okay so section two carried on a little long too. *grin* Maybe I just like to write?

I was talking about Props and why you want to take care with what is on your desk. What brought that to mind was another favorite hobby of mine, Roleplaying. Yup, like Dungeons & Dragons (and all other Wizards of the Coast games) and Vampire the Masquerade (and all other White Wolf games), GURPS and Paladium... You get the idea. I'm a Geek.

Props though, are what make the game, you get excited you look and examine and ask questions... Its in those questions that your character develops, and as the character grows so does the story.

Suggested Desktop Props for Fantasy Authors

• Runes
• Crystals
• A Dagger
• A Dragon or Forest Print
• A Chain-Mail sample
• Heavy ornamental rings and jewelry
• Parchment Scroll and Quill

 You see how that works? Physical objects that can help you focus on what your characters are doing,seeing and experiencing. And effectively aid you in changing your mind set.
