Are You Writing Serious Fantasy? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

My advice is just work out a core of characters. You don't need to invent everybody right away. Then, set up an interesting situation and start writing. You'll usually have a feeling about where the story will go but not an exact idea-- and it may all change as you write. Writing's a lot like dreaming, as you write you pose questions which your deep mind answers. The answers may surprise you or not, and the story rolls on to new questions.
