Robin Takes The Scenic Route


Writing Challenges Days 28 & 29 - #CampNanoBootCamp #TheBookIAmPlanning & #PrettyBookishChallenge

3/30/2018

 
I got behind on blogging yesterday, as well as having to stop revisions on Ripples once again. Our family has come in for the Easter holiday and yesterday was spent cleaning and shopping to prepare. But here are the challenge posts. I did manage to keep up with those.

I feel like day 29 needs a little more explanation.
  • Lord of the Rings - I chose this book mostly because of genre. Tolkien believed fairytales were for adults and I happen to agree.
  • The Dark Crystal - This kids movie is probably the most similar to my book. Two beings of the same race, raised by people other than their own parents, go on a quest together. In Over Land & Under Stone, Liha and Zec don't actually quest together but they share some adventures. And both are raised by people other than their parents. The first fun fact I shared yesterday came from this post. I read the children's book 'The Dark Crystal, before I saw the movie. We couldn't afford to go see it at the theater. But that book hooked me. It was also my first encounter with Brian Froud's artwork which I still love.
  • Spellfire - Similar in genre, this book is about a band of people going on a quest which is full of adventure.
  • Legend - Similar in genre, though the MC's roles are reversed. Whereas in Legend, Lily is a princess and Jack is a forest child, in OLUS, Zec is more like a prince (his adoptive parents are master guildsmen in the underland region of Genzet) and Liha is more like a forest child, being raised in the Bot'ha way of having a closer connection with the earth.
