Hello!
This'll be my first post around these parts of the wood. I'm a 26 year old male from sweden who really want to try to write my first fantasy novell. I'm sitting here trying to come up with a good starting point from where i can let the story take on a slight life of its own. But it is difficult. I keep second guessing myself and the approach to getting the story started. I just need to get it rolling. Changing plot and details can be done later on.
My novell, as i'd like it to play out, is fairly heavy on the magical element. The starting point, as i have it set right now, is that the protagonist is in a dangerous situation. She's weakened and in danger be it by circumstance or design. But instead of going to how the protagonist handles the situation, there's a return to where the even took place that leads to the perilous situation. Not sure if i made much sense there.
Has anyone had any experience with writing this way? Any recommendations? Warnings?
