Writing Fantasy

​​Fantasy: the heights of imagination. It dares you to not think outside the box but to smash it and create something new. You are starting from nothing and everything at the same time. New languages, new people groups, new purposes. You are providing rain to land in a drought. The paper is parched, and your brilliance has the opportunity to quench its thirst. It is not a simple task at all. Even though it's all made up, the story and background still have to make sense. As a child, I read fantasy books about fairies and people with magical powers. Now, I am dabbling in fantasy again to write a beautiful story. I familiarized myself with magic systems, conjured up various magical powers, and how to write spells. I made a PowerPoint presentation of magical powers with their strengths, weaknesses, and consequences. I included photos and personality types. It has been fun.

Every story I work on is different than the last. Some stories take place in other countries. Most of my characters are adults, while some are kids or teens. They are even different genres. I write to learn about something new. I write about ideas that force me into research. They say to write what you know. I deliberately write what I don’t know. Some examples of that: 

Malagasy culture
Southern Africa cultures
Military terms
Budding technology 
Reincarnation
PTSD
Modeling/fashion industry and more! 

Working on my urban fantasy story has made me feel like a kid reading about magic and fairies again.
