Hi everyone, One of my main characters (there are three of them) has been bitten by a zombie. I have thought about replacing her with a brand new, fresh character but have come to realise that the character I had in mind might be better being viewed from outside the frame. My friend...

You might find this hard to believe or understand but I haven't read a single Fantasy book in my life! Although I have tried with determination to finish at least one book in the genre but I have been unable to. I read an interview with Terry Pratchett once and he said not to read Fantasy if...

I have restarted my third draft three times while fighting the urge to throw what I have away and start from the very beginning but I am asking myself whether it is the thought of starting afresh or if I am just looking at it as an escape mechanism. My second draft focused on one POV and was...

Ever since I have started writing my third draft of my novel Lady of the Kryptonites all I have encountered is brick wall, after brick wall, after brick wall. I'm now on Chapter Eight and I can't seem to get push past it. I think the main problem is, is that I feel unsatisfied with how the...

It's something that I have been thinking about. It's a possibility but I would need to think about whether to go on explorimg with the new POV's or to go back to the original three. I haven't completely ruled it out yet.

It's a bit of both really. I find that I get under my characters skin better than any other perspective.

I have to admit 3rd person perspective puts me off a novel because I find that it's harder to follow than a one in first, also i can connect with the characters who are mainly involved. This is probably why i haven't read many fantasy books too.

The new POV's have brought a great deal of suspense and questions which could intrigue the reader I don't yet know if that's a good or bad thing. They have a couple of scenes for each chapter which follow after the MC's. It would look something like this; Chapter One - Protagonist...

What are your views on perspectives in the fantasy genre? I have finally started my third redraft but something unusual has happened that has thrown me off track and has stumbled me. In the first draft of my novel, Lady of the Kryptonites I used the perspectives of my main three characters...

Ok, just as i was getting somehwere with my map i've stumbled again! Anybody know whether i should highlight my cities in the chosen colours of my elements or whether they should be done in black ink? So confusing.

Trust me, mine are worse lol!

Thanks! I think I need it with my drawing ability lol!

Yeah that's what I'm doing right now. It's been bugging me for a while now so I'm just going to go with whatever comes up on the page.

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking of.

Sorry Queshire it is hard to get my thoughts across sometimes. The map I am wanting to create is where I have four circles, the middle one is Earth, the top left one is Water, the top right one is Air and the bottom one is Fire. This is just a mind map, nothing is set in stone yet but I...
