Thanks so much, both of you! Honestly, I don’t know why this is stressing me out so much :/

That sounds so cool! It’s always fun to write about things you like! Time travel and dragons, these are some of my favourite things 😊…I would love to read it whenever you’re done 🙂
Do you have any tips for when you have a plot but no characters (which is kind of where I’m at right now)?

Thank you 🙂 I’m still figuring out characters and plot :/
What are you working on right now?

Good question! I thought about it and here’s what I came up with:
The first realm, which is more medieval-based, was not a rich one. They had been suffering attacks from warlords who kept stealing their crops and the winters could be quite harsh. The king was a young man who wanted his people to prosper and was frustrated by their poverty. He discussed the Writers’ deal with his council and while a few were suspicious, most were just desperate. It seemed like a good deal for little cost, so the king agreed first and most of the people (not all) followed his lead.
The 2nd realm is dystopian/contemporary. In it, people are classified as Heroes, Villains, Sidekicks, Mentors, or Love Interests based on whether they get a Fate at birth. Those who don’t get a Fate are destined to live ordinary, uneventful lives. The Heroes got all the attention and many were getting sick of it, especially teenagers/young adults. The Writer for that realm spoke to the disgruntled, asking them if they’d like a chance to be choose their own fate/change the one that had been planned out for them. Though one or two were suspicious, 99 percent jumped at the chance.

Thanks so much! It’s one of my favourite quotes 🙂

My current story’s just in the building stage right now, but the idea goes kind of like this:
Two writers visit two different realms and promise fame and fortune to the people living there – as long as they allow the Writers total control over them. The people agree, but soon find themselves doing things they never thought they would do and their realm is turned upside down.
Meanwhile, in the real world, the two writers are caught in a car accident after leaving a conference. They are both seriously injured and their manuscripts are lost. Due to this, their hold over the realms and the people in them is lost, causing the realms to collide. Now the people of the realms must figure out how to repair the mistakes they’ve made and save their homes.
I know this sounds super confusing, do you think there’s any way to make it simpler? Is it too far-fetched?

Hi! Always good to meet another Joy 😉
Um, tips… First off, having visuals of your world is probably a good place to start. You can draw a map or generate one online, or make a Pinterest board with pictures relating to the world and its culture. Drawing from more than one culture, contemporary or historical, is also a good way to add diversity to your world. It’s a good idea too to keep a file on your phone or computer (or both!) for random facts about the world that pop up so that you can remember them for later.
This is the first time anyone’s ever asked me for advice and I’m new to the whole fantasy writing world myself, so I hope this helps 😀

Hi, nice to meet you! I love anything by Jill Williamson or Tricia Mingerink; they introduce me to the world of Christian fantasy and I have no regrets! I’m also a huge fan of Tamara Leigh (Christian medieval romance) and Susan May Warren (Christian contemporary romance)
What are your favourite books?
