Well, now I got my first scene of my fantasy book down. 😅 I’m starting slow, introducing my main character without a name to underscore her initial submissiveness, before her rebellious spark is ignited a few scenes later. It’s a survival drama in the beginning.

Since I stopped writing the worldbuilding pieces I already got the first few pages of the fantasy book down, despite also finishing my Game Design book. Can’t really contain it. This story just wants out, apparently. Maybe I’ll just post updates on that going forward. 🤔

Book Progress - I'm entering the final story chapter of the book. The last twist. It's really hard to explain how great it feels to finally write something you have been thinking about for years: www.linkedin.com/posts/narker... #booksky #gamedesignimpossible #writing #gamedevelopment #gamedesign

So I played around with writing worldbuilding pieces for my fiction book, but I wasn’t happy with the result. If I made them quickly, the quality wasn’t there. And if I took longer, the whole point of writing them fell apart for me. Might as well work directly on the actual story. 🤷

Book Progress - I have almost completely forgotten everything about my plot and characters. Which is cool, because now I get to re-read my own story :) www.linkedin.com/posts/narker... #booksky #gamedesignimpossible #writing #gamedevelopment #gamedesign

Book Progress - The book stands at 201 pages out of a planned 200. So, I'm already in the bonus area. I will likely land at 250 pages and then I can still cut some things: www.linkedin.com/posts/narker... #booksky #gamedesignimpossible #writing #gamedevelopment #gamedesign

Heljörd does not kill you quickly. She spreads like cobwebs across the land, digesting everything she touches. Slow. Silent. Unstoppable. You do not fight her. You burn your cities and pray she forgets you. authory.com/GuidoSchmidt... #booksky #writing #darkfantasy #worldbuilding

Some weeks of book selling and marketing punch you in the teeth harder than others. And I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling it. So if you’re also having trouble with sales, post your books below for a boost! 📚💙

I'm going to try something. Since I'm working on my Dark Fantasy Book already, why not occasionally post a few bits of my worldbuilding while I work at it? Here a small bit about what I'm toying around with right now. #booksky #writing #darkfantasy #worldbuilding authory.com/GuidoSchmidt...

Book Progress - Build a game for an audience or for yourself? My last two interviewees had very different opinions on that - both of which have been very successful with their games: www.linkedin.com/posts/narker... #booksky #gamedesignimpossible #writing #gamedevelopment #gamedesign

Playing around with Sora to give more life to my antagonist. She was cool before, but now she's even more real. I'm eager to get to write her part.

I kind of have my plot for the next dark fantasy book down already. Mostly. It’s a “save the world” story, where the main character turns into the villain. Or in other words, where a girl turns into a world threatening machine intelligence.

Was thinking about a main villain for my dark fantasy book and explored the concept of a sadistic duchess. Then I got this concept out of this and immediately fell in love with it XD
