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!
pennywise looks like baby grinch tbh
everyone: why is Rhaegar a Viserys 2.0?
got producers: bc incest
Honestly at this point I wouldn’t be surprised if next season it’s revealed that Aegon 1.0’s name is 'actually' Jon
So on the off chance Daenerys is preggers, then both Queens will have incest babies next season
