I don't know how to write my trilogy. Basically the antagonist's identity won't be revealed until book 2/3 and book 1 is the reveal of a certain falsehood and the set up. There will be some conflict of course. But my issue is mainly books 2 and 3. All I know for book 3 is the final confrontation. That's it. How do I fix this?

It is possible that your story is actually two books instead of three.  Or it’s possible you just are not yet aware of everything that needs to happen in the latter half of the story.  A great way to figure this out is to do some outlining.

Put down all the plot points/scenes you know of.  Then see what gaps need to be filled in between what you already have.  If you are not sure exactly what should happen, write down the questions that need to be answered and/or the things that need to happen to get to where you want the story to go.

If you haven’t already, write out the scenes you are sure off, regardless of where they happen.  By physically writing out the scene, you will often get insights into what will come next or what needs to happen before.

Here’s an ask I answered about different types of outlining.

Hope this helps!  =)

Happy WBW! What kind of homes are common in your fantasy world? What kind of architecture exists in your world?

Most supes live in groups, as their aruas support each other. A neat exception to that are the Breezies, single apartments above shops that are used to ground said shop’s warding. Wards need to be tied to resident’s auras to work, and usually that means multiple people are needed to support them. But as shops have people coming in and out all day, their wards need to be a little more flexible.

idk if someone's asked you this, but how do organize an outline? Like what format? currently on my world building stage in my story with a slight concept of a story series, and I wanted to know some outlining tips

So, there’s no wrong way to outline!!

When I had to write papers last semester, I would start with an outline as following:

I’d fill in where I needed, and as much as I wanted. And as I’d write the first draft of my papers, I’d go back to see what I had written and maybe take out or add in for my second draft. So the above would sometimes end up very different, with more tabbing and notes.

Here is an example of an Excel Spreadsheet (Google Docs has something similar if you don’t have access to Microsoft or any others!):

I personally dislike Excel because it runs so slowly for me. However, a style like this could also be useful or you!

Here’s an example of Scrivener, for an outline they have:

So overall, my recommendation is to find a format that works well for you! Play around with the examples above, or even come up with your own that will include information that you feel you would need! Such as a timeline, the scene, the characters involved. Include any important quotes that pop into your head, sights / sounds / smells.

If you have problems remembering anything, put it in your outline and be descriptive. It’s okay if you end up deviating from your outline!

(For an actual view of an old outline, here is what I found that I hand wrote for my International Relations essay on the European Union:

My essay ended up changing quite a bit as I worked on it -- so what I have written in those images, a lot did not make it into it (due to page constraints and other reasons!)

Hopefully this was helpful for you!

TL;DR: There’s really no one way to do an outline!

headcanon meme- Theseus? (you know me lol)

Headcanon A: realistic

Theseus is very attuned to the sea! He can tell when waters might be uninviting and he has a certain connection with all the sea life. His favorite being Sia (the turtle), his best friend.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

Likes spicy food. Can and will eat copious amounts of it. Him and Durango tend to have competitions for who can eat the most. It’s always Theseus.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

When he was little, he and his uncle Zeus spent a lot of time together. Unfortunately as the family bonds broke and his dad’s own ambitions began to turn darker he was refused the ability to see him.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

Can’t swim. Or, well, can’t swim well. Can do a mean doggy paddle! But mostly? He has a hard time with swimming. Ironic, when your dad is God of the Sea.
