Everything you need to add depth and texture to your fantasy stories

Writing a fantasy novel isn't easy. With far-reaching plots, large character casts and vast worlds that you'll build from the metaphorical ground up, there's a lot to consider before you start writing. 

This can be daunting, but don't worry! Keep reading to find detailed guides to help you create convincing characters, immerse your reader in your world and even create whole new species. We also get into the nitty-gritty of outlining and plotting your novel. 

Whatever stage of the fantasy writing process you're at, there's something here for you.

Lie in Deathworld - Update 1

My first ever crime thriller, which is looking for an agent, is now on hold of agent hunting. I ran it through pro writing aid and noticed a few fuck ups, that I kept missing. So, I hunted for an editor. Most are way out of my COVID-19 affected wallet. Luckily, I stumbled across a lady who edits for her own pleasure (I guess) and charges an agreeable amount. It's a proofread and should catch what I missed. That being said, not all edits are prefect and I'm going to need to go through it again. I've also redone the cover and adjusted the title. I'm looking for legacy publishing more than self publishing, but it's always nice to have a cover just for the hell of it. The covers were made using "Canva", as my old software Corel Paintshop Pro, no longer works for some reason. Also, Canva is pretty easy. Here's a canva aff link so we both can earn points for premium content.   https://www.canva.com/join/vpx-jdw-ycq   hahahaha.  Let me know which one you like

Covers

Cover make make or break a book. Truth be told, a great cover gets us to glance at the book, pick it up and read the back copy (blurb) to see if it is for us.  Does it sound exciting?  Does the language pop?  Important questions. The same questions sound be asked of your cover. Does it look exciting? Does the image pop? There are some shocking covers out there. Some are mine. LOL. But true.  I always believed a cover should preview what the book is about. Recently, I've discovered that's not exactly true. There are a lot of legacy published titles that have awesome covers that have nothing to do with the story (mostly, not always. For example: T. M. Logan's covers --so far-- match the story).  Let's look at a couple of examples:     The links to these books are below (not aff links). Dancing girls is a beautiful cover.   Keeping in mind that all these book covers are stunning and seem not to relate that much to the story, I decided to pop over to Canva and see what I co

Sweating Blood over the outline

  Sweating blood over the outline? writing an outline Outlines. Are they good, bad, needed or not required. Outlines. Are they good, bad, needed or not required. I have heard authors claim not to use one, while I’ve heard that other writers can’t write a book without an outline first. Where do I stand in all of this? Well, right bang in the middle from starting my latest book, Darkness. I am new to outlining. I admit that I don’t know a whole lot about the process, I searched the web for hours trying to finding something that would work for me to no avail (not everything works for everyone), so in this article I’d like to give you a run down on what I do and some places to find good info on outlines. Hopefully these words will give you an idea on how to write them or give you an idea on making your own style. Until recently, I never wrote an outline. I just turned on the computer, opened MS Word and away I went, typing like a madman on most occasions and on others swearing at the compu
