Chapter One ~ Do's and Don'ts
Do:
> DO Write...A LOT, even if the idea is dumb, keep writing, your writing improves even if you think it doesn't!
> DO Read tons of stories and books, they can actually teach you something!
> DO Use proper grammar and capitalization's, I DO NOT want to see you using text language, unless your characters are texting, then it's except-able
> DO Create UNIQUE plots
> DO Write down everyone of your ideas. You may not like them at first, but in the future you could really make the idea work.
> DO Put author's note at the end of each or every other chapter/part. It makes the readers feel more comfortable [ for some reason I cannot explain at the moment ].
Don't:
> DON'T Write like this: bck when i wuz in scool i fell in luv with a kewl prson! I can't even understand it, and it looks like my big toe wrote it or something!
> DON'T Be discouraged because something you've written didn't turn out as well you would have liked.
> DON'T Feel too bad about scrapping an idea that isn't working for you. Even the best authors abandon projects from time to time. It sucks, I hate it, but sometimes it's the right thing to do.
> DON'T Make your story cliche. In case you don't know what that means, it means if in the whole story has characters that are like the cheerleader and jock are in love, then he falls in love with the nerd blah, de, blah, blah, blah! You see that stuff EVERYWHERE, it gets boring and eventually...predictable. Unless you can make that unique and original, DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!
> DON'T Be upset/angry if you happen to be writing a novel about a ugly women/mouse slowly rotting in the grill of a car, well...I wasn't saying it can't be done. In fact, I bet you're just the author to pull it off. You go, girl (or guy)!

> DON'T Make things TOO detailed, the reader likes to imagine the setting and some of the characters, don't you think? Now I'm not saying don't put detail, I'm just saying to not put TOO much.
> DON'T Overcrowd your story with curses and...[you know what]. You can put some in just don't suffocate your reader with it. It gets sickening!

Alive?
In the ruins of a once glorious city, a mage awakens. As the sole survivor(?) of the cataclysm that destroyed his entire species, he’s forced to adapt. While learning the intricacies of his new body, he must first carve out a place for himself in a familiar yet foreign world before he can set out to reclaim his heritage. I cannot stress this enough: the character is not human, do not expect him to react like one. I know the hand on the cover only has five finger, but I doubt I am going to find a royalty free radiography with two perfectly functional thumbs placed in a sensible way anytime soon. The rewrite is finished. Beta readers are welcomed and I am still wondering whether I should put the sci-fi tag or not.

HEIMDALLR
After his first life, Heimdallr felt he had lived a decent way; he wrote stories and lived a simple life, avoiding publicity and focused on promoting growth to the few who cherished his works. But after being reborn as Heimdallr Dagrsson, one of the many sons of Daesal's greatest warrior Dagr, he was put into a world devoid of wide-spread access to reading and writing. Instead, he was dropped into a world where fighting and death commonly reared their heads. Now, faced between his unsupported passion and his new life's innate talent and upbringing, he will have to find his new path. He will forge a new story that would make even himself dubious of whether or not it's fact or fable. HEIMDALLR is a story taking place in the setting created for another previous work of mine called KOBOLD. It follows a reincarnated person trying to wrestle between their old life and new life's wants and needs, all the while adapting to the situations that arise out of his control. Heimdallr starts out trying to survive and live a new life, all the while facing challenges and growth both fantastical and painfully real. Loosely inspired by Norse mythology and histories (names and some themes), spun into a fantasy, grit-rooted world. Skål! All content warning tags are applied so as to allow freedom of writing but there is no intent of excess or even regular use of these themes. Regardless of this, any and all uses will have dedicated warnings presented in the chapter whenever they are present! Reader beware!
