'Aftersun' Review

Today on Fantasy Writing for Barbarians, I critique a magic system from an author who worries their idea might put them in a corner down the road. I get into the differences between hard and soft magic systems, some positive indicators that you're developing a good one, and ultimately how to make sure the rules and creative support and enhance your story and character.

One Piece 1130 Manga Recap: 'The Accursed Prince'

One of the hardest things about writing a fantasy novel (or any novel) is starting. Where do you even begin? And how do you know if you're even ready?

Today on Fantasy Writing for Barbarians, I talk all about overcoming those creative blocks that can mess up our writing process. Especially if you're just trying to get started. I take a look at an advice prompt from an aspiring writer who feels like they've done all the prep work they can, but now when it comes to sitting down and doing the thing, they can't quite find the words. If that sounds like something you've gone through either currently or in the past, then this advice is for you, too.
