Keep up the good work yumi yanglee😁
May I, uh, grab your attention writing/reading side of tumblr...I don’t know if there’s a shorthand for that so imma just go with the long name...
I HAVE A QUESTION:
Which of the following is your preferred style of story progression??? (Whether it’s when reading or when writing)...
A) A simple linear story progression: ya start at 1 and ya follow the numbers until you get to 10 and the story is finished, following the story as the characters know it and only understanding things as they do with a smattering of clues along the way that come up again later in the story that make you go WOAH
OR
B) A story that utilises flashbacks as a means to service the plot e.g. you’re in a present period of time and a thing happens, and you, a reader, is like that doesn’t make sense, until a flashback comes along and you’re like ohhhhhhh wait no that makes perfect sense, even though a character may have already long since understood this occurrence...
I’m at a crossroads in this writing venture!
(Also yes the tags were half bait half a list of my influences so you may observe but also I ran out of tags)
Writing Fantasy: A Manifesto
Lacking motivation to finish that novel? Same. But here are a few things I've learned so far...
1. Dream regularly
Accept that all fantastical elements of your piece— whether mythological, fabled or downright absurd— have already been thought of. A school for witches and wizards? Done. A powerful piece of jewellery? Seen it! What about a magical word existing in our own one? Oh, please.
To avoid this, dream nightly and rely on a good sleep cycle to generate those ideas on how to make your piece different from the rest. Have a dream that you turned into a flying toad with human limbs? Yay, (disturbing) originality!
2. No boring names allowed
If a Google search of your characters’ names gives you links to profiles on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or elsewhere, it’s too dreary for fantasy. Stuck? Try swapping the vowels and consonants around (see Game of Thrones).
3. Night owls only
Most writing will be done under the cover of darkness, just as you’re about to go to sleep and the one and only good idea you’ve had all week suddenly pops into your head. Write it down! You definitely won’t remember it in the morning.
4. Dragons are fool-proof
If all else fails, add a dragon to the story. Rowling, Tolkien, Martin…you can’t go wrong with one of these flying fire-breathers.
5. Write, write, write (or type, type, type?)
What are you doing still reading this?! That 500-page best seller isn’t going to write on its own, you know!
The struggle of being a budding author is that I lately got so invested in my own book I can't wait for the next chapter and at the same time I can't make a decision on what to do next so I'm stuck in this cycle of "when's the author gonna update????" And "oh I AM the author".
