Aspiring Fantasy Writer

[bobicus]

Have one book under my belt, not good enough to publish.
Working on one about fantasy golems and their pilots, almost done with the first draft.
Have a third set in the same universe as the first one, still plotting that one out.
My worldbuilding style is to imagine one weird thing and then work out the consequences as far as I can go.

"not good enough" according to... at least you didn't stop writing

"Golem and their pilots" sounds like fantasy mecha which could get the manga crowd interested in your work, good luck

The working title was "Fantasy Mecha," and that combination was exactly why I started writing it. Of course it evolved into a much larger story, but you do get to see a number of battles. I wasn't gonna write about 30 foot tall clay golems without having them fight at some point! That would be cruel to the reader.

Starting from your core idea and working backwards from there is not a bad strategy.
