Of Metal and Magic, Compendium One

Forged from the abyss by the elder gods, the history of Soria spans over 10,000 years.

In this time, the people of the world have seen bloody wars, the rise and fall of divine empires, and pitched struggles between dragons and unicorns—the very children of the gods who created men. Though the seed of civilization was planted on the continent of Elitor, people crossed the wide oceans to other lands, and to divergent evolutions. Today the world revolves around two great powers: Telsemar in the east, and Drumnaught in the west. It is from the dusty volumes in the duty halls of these cities' grand depositories, that we look back on the tumultuous history of Soria and the tales of Metal and Magic.

This collection features exclusive short fiction from the Of Metal and Magic team and Kit Campbell, Jane Dougherty, Anna Civolani, EA Robins, Roque Lattaro Neto, and exclusive character art by Morri Koester.

Hallowed Hill

Hallowed Hill

Maybe you should look a gift horse in the mouth.

After the sudden loss of her parents, 16-year-old Martie Torsney receives a surprise scholarship from a prestigious boarding school. This is the opportunity she needs to leave the heartbreak and echoes of her parents behind.

Greyson Academy sits deep in the forests of Vermont, high on a hill overlooking the trees. The school has a long history of helping its students succeed in life. If Martie excels here, she’ll be set.

But all is not well at Greyson. Scholarship students are very rare, and none has ever completed their time at Greyson. And, now, someone wants Martie gone too. Her things are moved, cryptic messages are left, and the school is vandalized in her name. But is it the living trying to scare her away–or the dead?

Martie is determined to stay, for herself and for her parents’ memory. But staying may cost her more than she ever imagined.

How to Write Multiple Projects at the Same Time

As writers, we tend to have more ideas--or more responsibilities--than can ever get done.
There is only so much we can do. And to make things worse, sometimes it’s hard to decide what to work on when you do have time. Or it’s hard to get started once you do sit down with all your other work crowding around your brain. Or you get started on one thing, but can only think about another.

It’s inefficient. And it’s frustrating.

In this book, you’ll learn how to train your brain to easily switch between projects, so you can get more done and make sure you're reaching your goals. We’ll also discuss how to choose which projects to work on, how to schedule your time, and ways to track your progress to make sure you’re doing what you need to get done.

So come and learn what strategies you can put into place to make sure your projects get done when you need them to be done!

This book is part of the Writer’s Motivation series! This series is designed to help writers find the processes that work best for you individually, allowing you to more efficiently reach your writing goals.

For a more hands-on approach, this book can be used in conjunction with The Writing Multiple Projects Workbook.

The Writing Multiple Projects Workbook

Have you ever had time for writing, only to sit down and find you couldn’t choose what to work on? Or have you started writing one thing, only to find your mind wandering to a different one?

There’s good news. You can train your brain to switch between projects as needed using a process known as compartmentalization. Using the strategies discussed in How to Write Multiple Projects at the Same Time, this workbook will help you put different types of compartmentalization to the test.

Once you’ve found the strategies that work best for you, there is a six month schedule to help you put your strategies to work in the long-term, and to help you keep track of what’s working and what needs to change.

This workbook can be used on its own, though it may work better in conjunction with How to Write Multiple Projects at the Same Time.

This book contains strategies for setting realistic goals, finding the motivation to write in the time you’ve set aside for it, and keeping your spirits up when things aren’t going exactly how you envisioned them. If you’d like to write more, more regularly, this is the book for you!

The Writing Consistently Workbook

They say it takes 66 days to build a habit. Writing on a consistent basis has a number of benefits, not least that your projects get done faster and that you get more practice, allowing you to branch out, meet your goals, and take advantage of more opportunities.

This workbook is designed to help you track your writing goals, how your writing is getting done, and what’s working, or not, as you build your writing habit. It features pages for the full 66 days required to build a habit so that you can begin to understand your writing process and what is working for you.

This workbook can be used on its own or in conjunction with How to Write Consistently.

The Story Ideas Pocket Book

Story ideas can strike anywhere. It can be a character, a plot, an overheard conversation--literally anything. Typically we as writers just jot them down somewhere and then hope we can find that spot when we need that idea later.

It’s a much better plan to have a place for ideas to go, so they’re all in one place and easier to find when you want them. This pocket book is designed to be small and easily portable, so you can keep it with you for when inspiration strikes. It is also divided into sections so you can organize your ideas as you get them.

This book can be used on its own or in conjunction with How to Find Story Ideas and The Finding Story Ideas Workbook.
