Thank you so much for this. It's good to know it can be done. The post apocalyptic aspect ties real well into it. I'm curious what difficulties you came across constructing worlds in this genre.
I love gritty fantasy and I'm a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes... can something like this exist? I feel like I could go either way. A Mystery with a hint of fantasy or a Fantasy with a mystery aspect. I'd like to know anyone's thoughts. I also agreed with a post I read here yesterday, there are way...
For 2 solid months I had 3 main characters, fairly well developed, a world not super detailed, but it was there, and I was so excited about what I had started with. The relationships between the 3 characters was strong, the background the main character was strong, and I had a type of plot twist...
I looked at the date on your post, I'm hoping you still aren't stuck, but your post is EXACTLY where I am. Nothing is developed yet, and I'm struggling with concept, world building, and a basic outline. I wiped what i was working on and now I'm starting fresh. AH! Help!
Good Afternoon, I'm Sam and I am in the concept and world building phase of writing a fantasy novel. This seems like a really awesome site, glad to meet all of you and glad to be here.
