Let’s Talk Stakes (Not Steaks)
The world just can't stop trying to end! A great example of this is in the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. At this point, I don't think I need a spoiler alert to say that Buffy stopped the Master, Angel, the Mayor, Adam, Glory, Willow, and finally the First. In the meantime, she had to keep h

A short exchange from book 2 of the #LightEternal trilogy that I am currently working on. Quite happy with it, Liranai is growing more comfortable around Teiarin, but she's rarely at a loss for an answer.😁
If you want to sneak a peek, prologue and first chapter of the first book, Weaving Dawn, is free on my website, link in my bio.
The e-book is also ~50% off for June.😊

I am happy to share with you a story quite different from "Weaving Dawn" that I will be writing on #Wattpad and Ko-fi (free): Hellbound for Metal, Or Help, We Accidentally Sold Our Souls to the Devil! (Blurb in comments)
Time for another #FantasyFictionFriday question for you fantasy writers out there! 🧙♂️
What’s a piece of writing advice you completely ignore?
Time for another #FantasyFictionFriday question for you fantasy writers out there! 🧙♂️
If your protagonist or story had a theme song, what would it be?
What do Harry Potter, LOTR, Hunger Games & Game of Thrones all share? Symbols. From houses to rebellions, logos bring teams to life, make worlds feel real, and—let’s be honest—make great merch.
Writers, don’t underestimate the power of a good symbol.
Need ideas on how to use them in your story? We have a list here: https://fantasyfablesguild.wordpress.com/2024/06/20/the-importance-of-logos-or-symbols-in-your-books/
Time for another #FantasyFictionFriday question for you fantasy writers out there! 🧙♂️
Let's say you are starting a new writing project: where do you start? World-building? Plot? Characters? Vibes?
Whether you're quoting Star Wars, The Hunger Games, or A Song of Ice and Fire, each of these sayings reflects the world they come from. They hint at lore, add emotional weight, and instantly ground readers in the setting.

How do chimeras work? Arguably they inherently don't - but that's not all there is to it. In this week's archive article, Jubal takes a look at what makes a chimera play into and use - or subvert and challenge - our expectations of how the world works, and has some suggestiosn for creating our own.

Including food in your novels not only potentially activates three of the senses for your readers (taste, smell, and sight), it can also be a secret marketing tool! 🍔
If someone enjoys your story and a specific food mentioned stands out to them, they may end up trying to create that recipe in real life. Then, a person who follows the blog of that cook or baker may get curious of the source of the recipe, and pick up your book.
Time for another #FantasyFictionFriday question for you fantasy writers out there! 🧙♂️
Do you discover your world as you write, or do you build it in advance?
Hello, Fantasy Writers! 👋
Welcome to #FantasyFictionFriday —a weekly space where we dive into the writing process together! Each week, we’ll post a question to spark conversation, share tips, and learn from each other’s creative methods.
Question 1:
Do you keep a separate document for worldbuilding notes, or do you store it all in your head?
Let us know how you keep your worlds organized (or chaotic)! 🗺️📝
