#1 IN WORLDBUILDING - 03/11/2019 //✿\\ Do you want to give fantasy writing a go; but you're not quite sure where to start? Or Are you a fantasy writer with so many world ideas, you're not quite sure how to pin them down and really get those fantasy gears spinning? I am an avid fantasy reader, writer and watcher, here to offer you a guide on how to get your ideas onto paper and get to building that perfect fantasy world you crave. From the time period to creating your own fantasy language. Here is a content list, feel free to skip to a chapter you feel you need most: 1. What IS Fantasy? 2. Is World-Building Really Necessary? 3. Prompting 4. The First W: Where? 5. The Second W: Why? 6. The Third W: When? 7. The Fourth W: What? 8. The Fifth W: Who? 9. The First and Only H: History 10. The Five Senses 11. Your World, Your Rules 12. Fantasy Language 13. Adventure Time! 14. What NOT to do 15: Topic Suggestion

This is about writing, as I think of it. Subjects covered will range from plot aspects to characterization, writing craft to just surviving as a writer. Mainly, Part 1 is a comprehensive list of things to do in order to create and maintain tension.

Part guide, part rant. Everything I've learned on writing, from Wattpad, experience, or how-to writing books. Leave requests on the second chapter :)

So I get asked A LOT how to write a good love story or what makes a good love story. The answer is I honestly have no fucking clue I cant give you any advice because i don't know your characters. But I can write about what you should and most certainly should not do based on character types. Wanna make an unyielding monstrous woman fall in love with a prince? A loner fall in love with a beautiful fae girl? Maybe a playboy in love with a nerd? Maybe I can help, even if just a little.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Part 2 of 100 Things. For those of you who've missed Part 1 (mainly dealing with the creation and sustaining of tension), you can find it here: http://www.wattpad.com/story/17586435-100-things-you-should-know-about-writing-part-1 Part 2 will mainly be about the craft of writing, or as I like to think about it, How to Be a Writer. I will however, veer off on tangents to answer questions or just because I want to, but I hope to be informative every time I do so. Cover image Copyright Misha Gerrick 2015 All Rights Reserved
