Dennis R.Upkins returns!My Steps to Worldbuliding and Character Creation, Guest Post by Denny Upkins

Our Favorite King of Geeks has returned for a very thought provoking Guest Post. One of the things my sister really like about this author is that he makes you see a different perspective on topics you wouldn't normally worry yourself about based on privilege. Before my sister and I started making ourselves aware of the lack of diversity in media, we're a little ashamed to admit we knew little about the challenges that are faced in the LGBTQ community. With Dennis's help, it's opened our eyes to the injustices of what it means to be LGBTQ and a Person of Color. So to the King who needs no Introduction....... 

Guest Post: My Steps to Worldbuliding and Character Creation by Dennis Upkins:

One of the questions I'm constantly asked (which admittedly I never get tired of answering) is what  my process in terms of world building and developing complex characters.

My approach to world-building and character development ultimately corresponds to my overall approach to storytelling. As a writer, I personally belong to the school of character = story. What truth do we discover along the character's journey? More than that, whether it's fiction, articles or blog posts, I generally have three mandates which I dub E-Cubed: Enlighten, entertain and empower.

Needless to say that E-Cubed has led to other techniques which has only enhanced my storytelling abilities over the years.

We @ Twinja Book Reviews have been following the amazing blog, Fangs for the Fantasy for some time now.What makes this blog really unique is that they not only review books, movies and tv shows but they have necessary, powerful discussions about stereotypes, tropes and topics you may have not made yourself aware of until reading them on their Discussion, Analysis and Musings page. 

Their tagline- The latest in Urban Fantasy from a Social Justice Perspective. This is one of those diversity blogs that more people should know about!So we're happy to have the bloggers, who bring us these amazing reviews and discussions, on our blog today!

Yayyyyy!Our Blogoversary Celebration begins! First up, Fangs for the Fantasy+15.00 amazon giveaway!

Didn't we tell you we were going surprise you with some awesome blogs???

We "sat" with about a dozen great book blogs that we consider sister sites to us @ Twinja Book Reviews. Some talk more about LGBTQ and sexuality, others focus on POC in books and a few tackle a sub-culture that seems to be forgotten when we talk about diversity, people with disabilities.

Either way, they're all amazing blogs my sister and I are huge fans of and hope to show our support to these blogs in any way we can!
