Those of you who have read part or all of my first draft of the Loss of the Dragon Sanctuaries know that in this world five is a very significant number. There are five moons, five continents, five books in the series. Why? I don't know, it's just a nice number... I could make something more in depth to it, but I don't really feel like it right now. Hey, I'm just getting started.
Go looking around this page for example, how many colors are there? Don't count the black/grey, brown or different shads of the other colors... There are five. I'm just teasing you now, tantalizing hold the reason I pointed this out to you just over your head and out of reach. MWHAHAHAHAHAHA! Remember:
"Some people assume that authors write books because we have vivid imaginations and want to share our vision. Other people assume authors write because we are bursting with stories, and therefore must scribble those stories down in moments of creative propondidty. Both groups of people are completely wrong. Aurthors write books for one, and only one reason: because we like to torture people.... The simple truth is authors like making people squirm. If this weren't the case, all novels would be filled completely with cute bunnies having birthday parties."
-Brandon Sanderson, Alcatraz Verses the Evil Librarians, pgs 165-166
I hold true to Mr. Sanderson's words (he is my favorite writer after all...) I'm really a cruel person here to torture those unfortunate souls I encouraged to read this blog and those who happen to stumble upon it and are now stalking me or wishing to steal my beautiful and wonderful story. (remember, stealers are bad. they'd get an EF grade if they were in my class and would spend twenty years in detention.)
Now, I will tell you why the colors are the way they are. Remember the five moons I mentioned earlier? Well, those are the five colors they shine. Brolval-purple, Jentia-blue, Lativan-white, Rydiana-green and Hylviana-golden. (I really need to memorize how those are spelled...) I'm just coordinating, the five moons really are an important part to the series.
Yep, well, I feel like that's all I can really say on the number five, but I might be blogging all day, so don't worry, you'll hear more from me soon.
