How do I start writing a fantasy series?

How do I start writing a fantasy series?

Begin by developing a unique world with its own rules, cultures, and magic systems. What ideas do you have?

I have a concept for a world where magic is tied to emotions. How can I expand on that?

That's a great start! Consider how different emotions affect magic use and the consequences of emotional instability.

What about character development? How do I create compelling characters?

Focus on their motivations, flaws, and growth arcs. Characters should evolve with the story and face challenges that test them.

Can you suggest some common tropes to avoid in fantasy writing?

Sure! Avoid overused tropes like the chosen one or the dark lord without depth. Try to subvert expectations instead.
