Silly little question
          	Spoilers for ToA book 3 btw
          	How do you guys feel about Jason from heroes of Olympus? He seemed kind of flat to me and I never really thought he was a good match for Piper. Was still shocked when he went and got himself killed though lol
          	I don't hate him, he's just definitely not my favorite and I was upset at first when they broke up but not every relationship works out and we also got a bi queen out of it
          	
          	Also, side note, after listening to just parts of Epic the Musical, suddenly Leo and Calypso doesn't seem very healthy either idk
          	It's just interesting to think about how different people interpret the same mythology in different ways. Leo and Calypso's relationship might be perfectly normal and healthy in the Riordanverse but in Epic? From what little ive heard that woman deserves worse than death

@IndigoSilver08 I love Jason, he’s one of my favorites and it kinda broke my heart when he died lol, but yeah Leo and Calypso is pretty toxic, our poor baby Leo deserves more

@IndigoSilver08 yeah I would tend to agree. Riordan's Calypso is very different from mythologically accurate Calypso because it would be hard to have accurate Calypso in a YA series. 
          	  Also, Jason as a character was alright. I think of the seven he's the most boring. I don't dislike him though, he just could have been more interesting.

@IndigoSilver08 Leo and his tool belt- it would work, the better question would be how did anabeth survive a month in taurturs with no access to products.
          	  
          	  I never really liked calypso, she was like an okay character. Her and Leo are cute, mostly because Leo put effort into making it cute but yeah in mythology calypso isn't the best person. Riordan has a tendency to show the better side of mythological beings (posiden for example) they resemble their actual beings but in a more kid friendly way.
          	  
          	  Also yeah Jason is just a bland character. Piper got practically bewitched into liking him by hera so half of it wasn't true emotions

Last weekend I was at a writing conference. One of the instructors, a published author, was talking about writer's block and some strategies to overcome it. I don't remember many of his tips off the top of my head (I did take notes) but I do remember one of the strategies he talked about was to ask what the worst thing that could possibly happen to the protagonist is and then do that thing. Adult published authors and teenage fanfiction writers are not as different as I thought guys

Also my favorite quote from the conference (from a different instructor) was "The only difference between a writer and an author is that an author finishes." I'm going to use that in an original book I'm working on

*sits down at writing desk* okay, lets make a quick chapter outline before I start writing this book. Just so I have a general idea of where im going, but not too specific. I don't want it to take very long.
          *3.5 hours, 23 items on a list of things i want to happen, 18 points on a story timeline, 7 pages, 11 chapter outlines, and 1000 words later:* hmm I think I might add more later but this is a good start
          
          help :')
