Youtube Videos on World Building

  Are you a bit stuck writing that world of yours? Even with the website I gave before, you still have a bit of trouble with the world building. Well, since you dropped by here are a couple videos that helped me get a better grasp on the world I created for my book.Don't forget though that this is your work, so don't treat all advice as if it's set in stone. 1)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTQSbjecLg&t=210s How to build a fictional world - Kate Messner As I said in my earlier post on  world building websites , this video was a very short one and some people in the comments said it didn't really answer anything about world building. But for me I  had my first eureka moment after watching this video.  I think most of us grew up watching or reading fantasy work, even if it wasn't some of the most  classic and famous works .

Villainess Manhwa and Manga Part 1- Clueless Dummies

 Welcome wanderer, I plan to start a new series, one I'm especially excited for😆. This is my villainess series. The cuties and the baddies, the babies and mommies, each week I'll do a post on the different villainesses in manwha and manga. These posts are about the personality type and situation of the villainesses and not whether they are reincarnated or regressed.  With that, I'll add a friendly reminder to PLEASE to support the author and artist that give us these great characters.  Without further ado, let's start the first post with a list of a particularly beloved type of villainess, the one who doesn't even know she's beloved and her mind works in a peculiar way. Here are our Clueless Dummies Villainesses. 1) Bakarina- Katarina  Claes Who else would I start with if not bakarina.This girl believed a doomed ending was what awaited her. This only changed when her 'destruction' actually came and she came to another funny conclusion. Her cluelessness

During my time writing and also my researching on YouTube I discovered the beauty that is google extensions. Having these extensions has improved my writing and made it easier to edit and publish. Here are a few of the extensions I use. I might update this list at a future date if I discover more goodies or make a separate post. 1) ProWritingAid Grammar Checker & Writing Coach It's description says 'The best writing style and grammar checker for everything you send, share, tweet or publish.' and I agree. You can choose which sites you wish to enable the extension on. I have used it on the various online novel writing platforms. Also with Quora, Pinterest and Instagram posts, even now as I am writing these blog posts. It catches the spelling and grammar mistakes I make. Which is quite a number. When I started writing my book,

  You would never believe who showed up in the tavern. Well, it was none other than Madame Skisener. Yes, that Madame Skisener, owner of the biggest publishing house around these parts. She came, and we had a jolly time conversing and she also shared some stuff with me and I really had to share them with you. This is some of what she shared as her biggest problems when she reads fantasy work. I don't know if you can tell but I write blog post that are on the shorter side. Why? Because I get pretty intimidated when I see blogs with a lot of words on a page and find it hard to read them.So I am going to do this post  and more in the future  in a way I like (short) in parts.   2) Info Dumping Many times, writers get sidetracked by how excited they are to introduce their world and end up filling the readers with too much unnecessary information. They are like an excited new mother introducing her baby to a stranger. They not only give introductory details about the baby but also how ma

Simply put, fiction is literature formed from the imagination, it describes imaginary places, people and events. So basically things that don't exist and are imaginary.  Now what is Fantasy?
