I don't have enough time to elaborate right now, but hopefully later on I'll come back to this. They are also...
One of my main drivers outside writing is a basic fixation with each culture’s story cycles. Using this as a guideline, it’s possible to trace each one’s migratory pattern and draw up some sort of idea where races come from (by the way, I haven’t studied this, these are my own observations)....

People are asking why I'm not doing Elephant Stone anymore -- yup, I tell them it is done and they suddenly act like it mattered to them. Well besides that none of our bands toured and made excuses not to tour only after the releases came out (and 3 dates ain't a tour people!), I pretty much have...
