I thought the same things others have mentioned. All we know is what is "normal". So if you're in a purely evil world, those who live there wouldn't see it as evil, just the norm. They may know they are unhappy and perhaps struggle to survive but evil is literally what our society says it is.

I liked the idea of close third person as it gives me the best of both worlds. But I'll continue as I've begun and when it's polished maybe offer chapters to beta readers and see if they find it hard. To me it wasn't hard to write nor jarring. My main character is in first and the two others in...

Yeah, me too. I just noticed I'd never read a novel that combined the two. And writing it like that wasn't planned.

I tried to write a historical fantasy based on Elizabeth 1 for some practise. Three hours later I'm a zillion miles away from learning about our old Queen. That's the danger of free reading on the internet you end up in this worm hole of information. Either be strike with yourself don't click...

Hi everyone, So this is my first novel I'm looking to publish and I've started it without really thinking this potential problem through. Other novels I've written were just for practise, so I did what I wanted, but with this one I'm writing the main character in first person and a few...

I noticed most beta readers weren't keen on the main character I was creating and I realized that was because they were always reacting to a situation and not being proactive enough which is something I've tried to work on in this new novel. But I wanted to be sure this character was proactive...

I'm sorry but to me love triangles NEVER make sense unless: Boy 1 like girls and she likes him. Boy 2 likes girl but she doesn't know or play with his emotions of have that 'hmm do I like him better or the other one?" Because when it's a 'which one do I like better?" I always feel she can't be...

I'm kind of doing one myself. So you still have a "bad guy" its just not human like an asteroid or freak weather.

I mean Max Gladstone did something similar in his books, I think my best bet would be to make each a stand alone book.

The Hunt for red October is a thriller by Lee child Gone girl The Magicians would be mine. and Little Women

I'm working my way through Wheel of Time books and also Gone Girl.

Never heard of it. Is it worth watching?

I have thought about keeping my first book as back story and starting from the Urban type book and making that book one. But it's tricky because I'd like to write the other idea as well.

Hi Guys, I just need some advice on my Fantasy series that I would like to publish one day and I didn't realize at the time but although they are both fantasy they are a different sub-genres. One is high fantasy and the second book is more Urban fantasy. I'm new to Fantasy writing so may be...

In one of my fantasy books there was 'killing' which separated my character's soul from their body and they don't die just go onto a different plane of consciousness. Their life didn't end there is went on. Either rebirth, or in spirit. Then I had 'killing' which was destroying a person's soul...
