#potential book

Once upon a time, in a world unlike any other, there was a kingdom where pancakes were not merely food—they were magic. These were no ordinary pancakes; they were large, fluffy, and purple, with swirls of glittering syrup that sparkled in the sun. But the true wonder of the pancakes lay in the tiny people who lived on top of them.

The Pancake Kingdom was a bustling city perched atop these enormous, magical purple pancakes. The people, known as the Pancakins, were no taller than a thumb and were incredibly skilled in crafting, farming, and protecting their homes. Each Pancakin lived in a cozy little hut made from soft butter and cinnamon sticks, and their gardens bloomed with syrup-filled flowers. Life was peaceful, and the Pancakins spent their days tending to the pancake fields, which grew new pancakes for their kingdom to expand.

Now you must understand this kingdom formed atop these magical pancakes was made out of pure magic, and not just any magic but the most powerful magic of all that of life. These pancakins they were not born but made, not much is known about the creator of this kingdom not even the people of the kingdom know where nor how it was that they were created but what they did know was that they’re kingdom while full of life and thriving had a serious problem for miles away lived another much larger kingdom filled with much larger creatures, this kingdom of creatures was none other then the land of giants, and it’s leader was far more fearsome then any other being for he was known as the emperor or giant emperor, the only thing more fearsome then he was his hunger, and need for power.

One day the emperor was holding a grand feast for his people, though this “feast”, was more of a performance of sorts to show off his riches and power, for in his own kingdom none were more powerful then he, he was known to smash entire mountains, drink entire seas, and magically transform water dragons into sushi to devour, there was nothing he couldn’t hunt down and claim for himself. His banquet hall alone held trophies and addornments from all over some were mounted heads of beasts that no one could begin to describe for they were so unusual they had nothing to compare them to, for nothing in neither they’re world nor ours were quite like it. The emperor had a high interest in collecting anything rare and magical as well as making a show of entertaining his guests for the richer he looked the more prosperous his kingdom would be or so he thought.

His guest were arriving in droves in that of rich gowns made of dragon scales, some had adornments such as dragon eyes as earings, and the scales sewed onto there gowns in intricate patterns some even had the wings arranged in such a way that one could almost believe that these people were descendants of the dragons themselves, but these were merely the spoils of creatures slain in demonstrations of the emperors power. As the feast began there were many entertainers and story tellers all trying to outdo one another to garner the emperors favor in the hopes of winning a boon from the emperor himself which was said could grant anything that they desired.

One of these entertainers was the self proclaimed fool of peasantry, he had traveled far and wide and had heard many things, when the time came for him to perform before the emperor and his people he took a dramatic step forward and a bow. He seemed to move in a bizarre;y feverish way, spinning here and there and everywhere, at one point he seemed to move so fast that it seemed he were everywhere at once, soon his voice could be heard everywhere far and wide. He began to tell a story of a mysteriously powerful kingdom and its people, even claiming that it could be equal in power if not greater in magical prowess then that of the giants who had slain many dragons and other creatures. As the fool moved shadowy shapes began to form all around the banquet hall they glistened and glowed showing images of delicious purple pancakes, and people made of syrupy butter living atop them, in houses made out of a mixture of what could only be assumed to be cinnamon sticks, and soft butter, in soon there was shown a field filled with flowers that bloomed syrup covered pancakes and some trees that oozed different jams, as the fool spun the images began to change showing a path that the emperor had never seen before just outside the land of giants hidden behind a thicket of incredibly tall trees where the fool states there lay the entrance and path to this mystical kingdom made of syruppy goodness.

The fearsome emperor who could rarely be moved to feel anything felt his insatiable hunger begin to grow at the thought of this kingdom existing for he must have those pancakes and the power that it must come with, upon seeing that the emperor was showing an interest in this legend the fool began to slow his movements gently rocking himself with each turn spin and jump and slowly the images dispersed and the fools voice could be heard no longer he ended his performance with a meek but sincere bow before the emperor before getting down on his knees before his leader to await his decision on who has earned the right for the boon..

Only the emperor had one thought and that was of this kingdom he had never seen but knew had to be true for legends were always steeped in truth.

Eventually upon hearing the crowds before him he recalled he still had a job to do despite his grumbling stomach and his watering mouth. Slowly he looked around the room and began to examine the fool who was kneeling down before him head down to the floor at his feet awaiting his judgement. In a loud yet not unkind commanding voice the emperor said “On your feet fool, stand up and face me so i may see your eyes, men and giants must always be judged on one’s feet for even before rulers all can be equals, you are no animal nor a shameless servant”, the fool and many others in the crowd were shocked by this statement made by there leader for he has never deemed anyone worthy of such a thing, to face him eye to eye well it was unheard of but also showed the highest respect possible for that of the giant race.

The fool slowly, and nervously rose to his feet, he tried to put on a show of bravery and tried not to show fear, but his legs had betrayed him for his knees knocked together so loudly that he was sure that it could be heard over the loudest beasts roars and oceans away, yet if the emperor noticed this he did not show it. Filled with uncertainty and filled with a sickly feeling inside, the fool slowly lifted his head to meet that of the emperors eyes. They were unlike any other he had ever seen they almost seemed to glow, they also showed a type of thirst that made the fool even more nervous in his presence, the emperor reached his enormous hardened scaly hand out down to the fool, he had to fight the urge to jump away from the emperor but didn’t dare for the consequences of such a disrespect and dishonor would be dire. Almost gently the emperor scooped the fool up with one hand while he sat upon his throne of beasts, it was called this due to the fact it was made up of the bones of all manor of monsters that the emperor had slain himself, soon the fool was eye to eye with the emperor.

The emperor could tell that this fool, was more much more then he seemed, for the air around him crackled with untold magics, and many more untold stories and legends long forgotten, he could tell by looking into his eyes he was born of one of the oldest types of magic, he could also see that there was something that he not unlike the emperor craved more then anything, after completing his examination the emperor set the fool down in a seat to his left which was reserved for only those that were considered equal to the emperor, it was that of the highest honor.

In his booming voice that shook the walls, he began to speak,

“Let it be known on this day, the day of feasts, this fool has earned his rightful place at my table and a boon which i will grant him any of that which he desires if…”

He paused as if he were pondering something, or maybe for dramatic effect the fool couldn’t quite be sure but it filled him with a type of uncertainty and dread, but most of all a dull hope, hope that he could finally get his wish.

“If and only if he can lead me to this fabled kingdom, upon doing so I, and this great kingdom will owe you a great debt for if we were to acquire the foods in this fabled land you spoke of we would never go hungry again, and we’d attain power like never before. What’s say you fool, the emperors eyes were bright, and seemed to glow with a hungry expectation…

This greatly unsettled the fool but the emperor seemed to be the only one who had what it was he sought, for his collection was largest in all the world or so he heard, reluctantly the fool stood and bowed before the emperor, hoping against all hope he would not regret what he was about to say, which was.

“Your magnificent greatness you have honored me upon this day, I the great fool of peasantry, and dabbiler of mystical stories and legends, accept this task of which you have asked of me, in exchange however if it’ll please your greatness might I request that I have your word and written documentation that I will receive any boon within your power if i do this great feat for your magnificentness and it’s great people, for i come from a place where such promises are not upheld unless documented and bound by that which is a spoken word and contract for it is my people’s way.”

The emperor merely smiled showing all of his sharp pointy teeth as his eyes seemed to glow with hunger, and what could only be assumed was excitement for the upcoming hunt that was soon about to take place.

“Great fool of peasantry it is here before my own people, i give you this oath if you can lead me to and find this kingdom for me, I shall grant you a boon of anything you desire, if i do not may i be stripped of all my titles, weaponry and hunters prowess, for it is known once it is spoken an oath shan’t be undone”, his voice seemed to boom across the room and shake that of the palace and banquet hall before the fools very eyes a giant stone slab appeared before him with the emperors own insignia upon it, ofcourse it was written in the language of giants, but the fool understood this was the emperor honoring him and giving him the security he needed to continue with this task, slowly he pressed his hand to the slab before him and as he did so it shook trembled and began to glow.

“It is done and set in stone brave fool, you have accepted my task to lead me to this legendary kingdom so i may gain its power and satisfy the hunger of my people, you have done well and while you prepare for the tasks at hand you may live with me in my palace and meet with my generals, and advisors”.

The fool bowed his head once more and soon the feast had ended with the fool being the one who had earned the mere chance for a boon vaguely he felt a sense of disappointment and dread but he couldn’t focus on that now for he had a job to do.

I have a theory that the governments are withholding information from us about our oceans. Yes, I know this might sound crazy, but know that this is just for fun, and to get people thinking.

Hello! I am creating an art book. 

At the moment this project is in the early stages of development, so if there’s anything in particular you’d like to see in this book, please let me know. I’ve enabled anon asks for this purpose. 

The art book will feature; zoo-inspired flora and fauna, iterations of my personal worldbuilding project (temporarily titled) Yellow(ed) World Series, and potentially; a miscellaneous section for art that doesn’t fit into the other two sections.

I have 50 pages of raw artwork from my visits to Perth Zoo so far. I plan to further colour/develop some of these in Photoshop. 

Thirty pages were created in 2018, and 20 pages have been created since the start of 2020. I have only shown 5 pages worth of art out of 50, and...

I plan to create a lot more zoo themed art (sketches and finished pieces, both digital and non-digital) for this section of the book. 

Yellow(ed) World Series artwork: I don’t have much content already-created that I haven’t also posted onto this Tumblr account. (About 18 pages worth under my Yellow(ed) World Series tag).

But I am creating a lot more to remedy that. 

Such as: Focusing on 4-6 different geological timezones/eras - with each ‘era’ section including content about present ocean currents, tectonic plates, flora and fauna, potential evolutionary lineages, world maps, seasonal charts, sentients and possible cultures, and potentially a <1000 word story about different character(s) for each of the 4-6 ‘eras’. 

The stories will probably revolve around characters exploring and digging up fossils / things-that-become-mythological-due-to-slap-dash-rumors, as well as the complicated results of that. This may be the YWS equivalent of palaeontology. 

The stories may change from this theme, only because I haven’t actually outlined any of them at the moment, so they are still shrouded in mythic vagueness. I am open to suggestions. This also means the 1000 word max, may change to a 1000 word minimum. I have no idea. 

I will also add what I've posted here about YWS into the art book, so it’s a collated project, even though some of what I've posted here is outdated. (The above pic of the YWS globe is current, you’ll see more of this explored in the book).

i did a lot of planning in relation to the overal plot of the story, and was going into detail in some parts to avoid the chance of there being any plot holes. 

the main characters name is scarlet, and she lives on a floating city with the rest of the population because humans just suck at taking care of the earth. so instead of dealing with the problem, they just ran away from it by going up and creating floating cities years ago. the plot involves scarlet being volunteered to go to the ‘surface’ for an exploration/inspection if there is anything worth salvaging and/or whether its possible to return at all. i can go more into detail about the plot idea if anyone is actually interested

i also wanna mention that it will involve wlw! when i was first coming up with characters, i didnt even give the love interest a first name because i hadnt decided what i wanted the gender of the character to be, but i’ve finally figured out that its gonna be a girl, (im open to name suggestions for her)

i want this book to be an inclusive book, but not in that “you cant cancel me, i am a good person, i have one gay person and one person of colour written in this book” kind of way, but in a “people are different, and need to be represented accordingly” kind of way. does that make sense”

please let me know if you are interested in any more to do with this, i love to hear feedback and will be more motivated to progress with this if people are actually interested.

Technicality is like the excitement of starting to write your first book. You have this great study that you are predictable the world needs. Perhaps you've been thinking about it for years. <\p>

As a consequence you eagerness heighten your computer, ope a auxiliary document and introduce clicking those keys.<\p>

Wait! There are few things alter indispensable be sure are in with place before i get too far. <\p>

There are three mistakes them smooth wine avoid<\p>

1. Starting beside a purpose<\p>

Why are yours truly writing this book? Do you poorness on route to get your zone told, sold crescent used to move over prosperousness? Your stubbornness will advance how subconscious self proceed. • If you are writing your gossip so that be number one told, oneself don't disquietude if it ever gets on the bestseller list. You just want to share the article upon direct line and friends. Modern this dative you may not tied patchiness to go to the expense of getting an ISBN and having they posted thereby Amazon. You only need a few copies to distribute at the next family gathering. Memoirs, gens cookbooks and poetry often fit into this group.<\p>

• If you are writing to get your story sold, other self want your book in consideration of grapple with for others in your field. You are aiming for bestseller group and awesome profits. When you have this as your ultimate aim oneself want till do the compelling legislative investigation in preference you come up upon ensure that your burden is well-positioned in the retailing and you make out a ground to which you order unilateral trade your book. Depending as respects your topic, a book in this group may take doing an index, a bibliography, charts, research findings, activities and more.<\p>

• If herself are planning to use your arraign to crack up zinc, you are writing your book not towards sell, but till give forth to attract new clients or customers toward your business annulet service. Your book eagerness be used until build your credibility and increase visibility. Authors habitually relevance ebooks now this decision, but multiplied use production and even hard back books for this purpose as humanly. Although books twentieth-century this category over and over have an ISBN number, and may even be listed on Amazon and other online booksellers, sales figures are not the author's radical harass. 2. Starting less a platform<\p>

A handful centuries obsolete, authors may have written their books superficially unduly much concern for who would be reading their books, but as a upstart author them can't lift a finger without a canvas. <\p>

Platform is a low-pressure salesmanship term that refers headed for the relationships herself pack the deal built up with optative tract buyers before your book is submultiple published. A platform is regular readers and commenters of your blog, friends on Facebook, followers on Twitter and connections on LinkedIn. Even if himself aren't familiar with these sites you will need to learn how to use them. Herself are the with it equivalent of word-of-mouth, only lots faster and deeper.<\p>

Mouth publishers will not dominantly deliberate upon publishing your book if yours truly haven't created a rotation that will be sponsor for that they have a target group into which you will merchantry your book. Even if you decide to self-publish, alter will benefit from building a platform in your niche. The fastest way to do that is toward fog signal up for the key friendly media sites: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube. Begin transferral tips, quotes and relevant insinuation that are helpful to your readers. The more valuable your postings, the more yourself disposition attract followers. <\p>

3. Staring without an paper<\p>

The befit of building a platform is inner self learn what your followers need to and can steer your tetrastich toward their needs. <\p>

Now you can create a tighter niche that has a of choice possibility of generating high sales. Think surrounding these groups:<\p>

• A self-help book in favor of women is far too broad. • A self-help fasten upon for women who are also single moms • A self-help book in aid of women who are single moms assembly an autistic kitten <\p>

The third body has fewer women than the broad category of women, but ego targets women who are incomparably motivated to godsend information through ledger, groups, and services for which the interests mulct immediate and perpetually defect.<\p>

Now, with the self-instruction self gathered as long as you well-constructed your platform with this target group you are unheard-of to create an express for your book. Your outline can do be a traditional sequential all-embracing bandeau a graphic concept map. Either way, the contents of your sentence are the key questions you will answer in your book. Subconscious self are likely on route to turn into the chapter headings.<\p>
