I wrote this book for my readers who just love writing and writing prompts. I wanted to write a small book to supplement what's already available on Amazon and to help you focus in on fantasy writing specifically. This book is to help you if you're stuck, or to give you a prompt from which to start writing.

Writing prompts can be a great source of inspiration for when you’re struggling for ideas. Even browsing prompts can spark your own ideas for a story, or you can use the prompts exactly as they’re presented.

Anything goes. And you get to decide!

You might be wondering about me; I guess you could say I am still an aspiring writer. I’ve been writing since I was about eight years old. I love fantasy, sci-fi, and adventure stories. When I was small, I wanted to write children's books and I loved Choose Your Own Adventure books. I even wrote my own choose your own adventure about a UFO landing in my backyard. Unfortunately, I have since lost that first manuscript (in notebook form).

Right from a young age I read all the young adult and adult fantasy I could find. I loved Diana Wynne Jones, the Redwall series, Tolkien, Feist, and now especially Neil Gaiman.  I loved the weird and strange stories like Tales from the Crypt, Roald Dahl’s odd fantastical short stories, and the mix of thriller meets horror meets fantasy which is found in so many young adult books, such as Christopher Pike’s, and the Point Horror/Thriller titles.

Above all, I just love a good fantasy story, in any form it comes in. Ideas come easy for me, I’ve realised. It’s writing them that’s hard. So here are some ideas for you, my reader, to help start, continue, or help finish your fantastical story.

Happy Writing!
