No argument against that. I spent dozens of hours (and still do) working on a timeline of my world and a detailed map of the continent where the plot takes place for some reason. I don't care if any of it (or at least the majority) will not be seen, I'm proud to think everything from scratch. It...
Nice, I don't see any problem with that, nor in seeing something of your authorship. Right now I'm focused on finishing the map of the continent where my plot takes place, but as soon as I get back to the writing, I'll be able to show you something concrete from the first draft. Although I write...
Of course. It makes perfect sense to link the subplots to the larger problem if multiple POVs are used. Another thing I like to do is to subtly release crucial information about character "X" problems in the "Y" character's POV. In other words, the reader gets to know certain information that...
You misunderstood me a little... I didn't want to imply in any way that certain meticulous details don't fit in the narrative, on the contrary! What I meant was that we have to find a point of unity between aspects of Wordbuilding and the narrated story. I could write a 50,000-word text...
Describing the same scene from different perspectives is always interesting. For example, to realize that what one character thought was true, in reality, was nothing more than a farce.
It's true. Among my three main characters I have the one I consider a little more special, even though I...
Yes, that's exactly the way I've been phasing the chapters, alternating between A, B, or C. For me, the hardest part has been working on exciting points of convergence, which later in the story will draw the characters together. But the fact that there is a global danger that could affect the...
I am working on my first fantasy novel and instead of the most regular single POV, I opted to follow three characters who do not know each other and live in different places on the same continent. As the plot evolves, the varied conflicts the three of them deal with will bring these characters...
He was a seasoned guard, if I remember correctly. Many years of watch. Maybe he could find the strength to fight gluttony. However, his shift companion, a younger and more inexperienced brown bear, would fall like a fish taking the bait.
I've participated in joint stories where one of the subgenres was anthropomorphism, and one of the scariest characters I can remember was a gate guard. A big black bear with scars on his face and wielding a double-edged axe, which imposed a lot of respect.
Thanks a lot. I've been doing that for the last few minutes (going through previous conversations). Looking forward to participating in interesting discussions.
In my case, it has to do with the high level of imagination that I have. I often find myself imagining how certain situations that occurred in a certain way, would be quite different if one added a pinch of magic.
Having Tolkien's stories entered my life very early on, the fantasy worlds always...
I really love the passion and meticulousness with which you approach the subject, and in many cases I am also like that. I usually "waste" hours and hours researching certain real life topics in order to get a concrete picture of whether or not an idea of mine makes sense. However, sometimes I...
