superman

Posted by Margot in the writing process

 

I just read a post on Brandon Sanderson’s blog about magic systems.

The Cost of Magic, plus Superman

If you are, or ever plan to write a story that has magical elements, you simply must read this post. Not optional.

A little something to chew on: when you watch Superman fight a bad guy, it’s cool, but it’s not very tense, is it? So why is the Superman story interesting or compelling? Read the blog post.

    Thanks for the tip! I’ll look that post up. My mom always swooned over superman’s little curl on his forehead. I always figured the excitement had something to do with that.

    I love Brandon Sanderson’s magical worlds. Well, everything about his stuff. Thanks for letting us know!
