Meet Arya!

Darien and Lucy are happy to finally know the elf woman’s name in Eragon chapter 46, “A Path Revealed.” 

Talking points include the importance of having your basic needs met in creativity and problem solving, Eragon embracing the true responsibility of being a Rider, the connections between memory and belief as seen in Inside Out 2, Eragon’s poor execution of a good idea, using italics to communicate thoughts in text, frustrating social media interactions with strangers, communicating strangeness of non-human characters without dipping into racist tropes, and Murtaugh’s almost-lore drop. 

Sparks of Inspiration

• Darien really loves The Adventure Zone: Suffering Game and strong adaptations. 
• Lucy reflects on the value of having a writing routine as inspired by Nora Robert’s The Dragon Heart Legacy.
