@samknight.bsky.social's #writingtips: Beware the tons of scams targeting writers today. You did not just get an email from a famous author who read your book. That is not a real book club wanting to sponsor your book. Those places are looking to scam you. Research and pay attention.

You can consider most everything in your story as if it was a character in its own right.

Cultures, nations, even plot arcs - they can all follow character development, have motivations and goals, react and interact with each other like characters can… the works!

Somewhat murky painting of a young woman holding a broom leaning down to read papers on a wooden table. An envelope with a wax seal is on the floor by the table and a chair with embroidered cushions is behind it. The young woman is wearing rough clothes with a tucked up apron over her dark skirt.

Scenes That Expose the Truth Let behavior and pressure reveal character.

medium.com/the-writers-...

Writers tell the reader what a character is like. They say the character is kind, stubborn, or guarded. We believe it when we see it. Let actions carry the weight.

Society in Story There are a number of elements fantasy writers focus on during worldbuilding, traditionally they pour over decisions like mapping locations, designing a magic system and setting empires/species against one another – big, obvious things that shape the story. Yet this can mean they overlook an important aspect that helps to bring all the different elements together, the mesh of society in their world. By society, I’m not just talking about the people, but about the whole nature of their interactions and the way in which the author created ideas mix on the page and are shown to the reader.

@samknight.bsky.social's #writingtips: Some people feel they don’t have to/want to be a reader to be a writer. That usually shows when you try to read what they've written. It’s okay to explore an artform, but it’s best to try to learn something about it/be familiar with it as well.
