I started to write a fantasy novel in may 2023 and has been working on it everyone but due to some problems, I've not been able to complete even the first draft of the book. Everytime I sit to write either my mind goes blank or sets in chaos that I'm not even able to think properly of what to write further. Every new chapter or paragraph continues to confuse my mind and create a drift between my thoughts and the written content. This thing has led me to the situation that I now don't even feel motivated to write further and haven't touch the book since a month now. I'm not sure what to do abo ..read more

So I have a story idea where main character Merchant can portal in between her modern world and a fantasy system skill type world. On one of these trips she takes her grandma, and when grandma gains mind skills it fixes grandma Alzheimer's. But only in that world. So grandma is going to live there then. Good thing unclaimed land that is full of monsters is free. I have read many stories what a person showing the magic leveling system that they actually know what they are doing are quickly able to become high level in their chosen profession. Especially if they focus on one profession. Anyway ..read more

I'm making a magic system and trying to come up with words (or convincing sounding fakes) for various schools of magic. So far I have: Legits forms of magic: Astrology Alchemy Necromancy Conjuration Legit sounding: Psionics Pragomancy (enchantments and stuff) Tentative: Biourgy (sounds weird also fake) Organimancy (maybe?) Viviurgy Biomancy (Best sounding I guess) Eremomancy (from Greek for wilderness) Any ideas? submitted by /u/drcorchit [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

My story has immortal characters but have of them are cursed to become immortal. Two of my characters can die but they have a clone to replace them, then my other characters can’t die, age, get sick (well sorta), they can regenerate any body part (but it depended on how close they are to their cut off limb). submitted by /u/TheRudestCat55 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

So, I am a teenager, so of course I attend school. The thing is: I find school so boring I just occupy myself with other things. For this I wrote a 63k word book in a month. I want to actually do something with the next book I’m going to write, but I was wondering if it’s a good thing that I am able to write a fantasy book in this speed. Is it even fast for a fantasy adventure book? My next book it will be one setting, which I feel will be even easier to write. submitted by /u/nottheking001 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

A few years ago I started a fantasy/romance novel and I'm just now getting back to it... but I forgot what happens and I'm stuck. Based off the idea that fairies from Irish folklore are real and live among us. I like the concept and writing I have so far but looking for anyone who might be able to: -Read what I have and give ideas on where to take it Or -read a summary of the premise and give ideas on where to go I did notice in my search of the sub there were some people looking for the same sort of thing a while back, and I would of course be willing to help anyone else out too! Summary: Jo ..read more

So, my writing has a lot to do with fairies, specifically folklore fairies, I have a problem which is,I can't think of the physique of a faerie. I see illustrations (bauer, rackman, lee, froud, compiet, etc) and take notes, but it's like they don't stick and in the end, I just go back to basics. That's why I wanted to ask you: do you notice any concepts that are repeated? Any rules they follow among themselves? Some teaching to be more creative or etc,Something to get me thinking about interesting physiques that resonate with the styles of the aforementioned. submitted by /u/Additional_Topic ..read more

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PHE-7PWVmvu47Y5bRN_i-L-SbOdbRnZTJ0frLJH83Zo/edit?usp=sharing Short synopsis: a drifter with a mysterious past in search of a bed to stay the night wanders into town. Unfortunately, the town is under siege by vampire bandits and a telekinetic hivemind, and he's not the only one with a mysterious past looking for a place to stay. I've been writing and editing this in bits over a couple of years, and I'm looking to polish it up. This is only around the first third of the complete piece. Areas I'd like critique on: -Is the style consistent? Are there any notice ..read more
