How To Write A Fantasy Fiction Novel

Think about the movies and shows you watch. Think about the books you read. Write something that imitates things you are already interested in learning. Am I sure, you have read a book or watched a movie and thought to yourself I would have done that part differently? That is your story.

Do it differently, tell your story from your point of view. Start your story with a problem, get your readers invested early. Make your character one point shy of the debate team, a basket away from the championship, unable to save the life of a young patient or a loser trying to get a win finally. Make your audience care about your story.

You have to hook your reader with exciting and compelling problems for diverse, well-rounded characters. Make your characters honest make them real people. Let them shock and annoy you. Give them the freedom to make crazy decisions based on unforeseen circumstances. Let them do the fantastic things that touch our hearts and the awful things that keep us up at night. Give your characters layers. A real person is full of contradictions. Great stories come from characters that want something and will do interesting things to get it. Fiction requires that you have compelling characters that have real wants and desires. Your characters have to be hungry for their objectives, so much so that the reader is hungry as well.
