Hi fellow fae path goer! I was looking for Faery books when I found your channel. I do not have either of these books yet. I have been on the fence with it. I've done Emily Carding Faery Craft book /excersizes/ workshop and really enjoyed that. I'm currently going through a Wentz book too. There's a lot in it. So I read a little every day. Oh my goodness about the willow falling. Keep us updated on how that grows ❤

The 4 books are amazing. I get obsessed with things and for years I didnt realise there were 4, I'm on the fourth and I buy a lot of books by Hoffman, she brings a story together like boss. You need to read these if you are obsessed with the movie. The whole root through the book is the curse. How trying to save people from harm is not always the right way to go. And the law of 3 and dark magic is not an option, it's more of a debilitating cross to bare when not used in a constructive and mature way. These books have lessons and spell casting that talks about nature and kitchen witchery that is so warming.

I fully understand the conundrum of the story and characters taking on a life of their own and steering you down a path that you hadn't totally planned for. I've learned to be more loose in my planning, so I don't get derailed, because I'm along for the ride just as much as the characters are. Loved hearing you chat about your process, and I'm glad you found a method that works for you!

I still, unfortunately, haven't read the Lord of the Rings books, even though they've been on my to-be read list for forever! Hopefully, I'll get to them soon! I also want to eventually make a video on my thoughts about Harry Potter now (both from an objective and subjective viewpoint) and to really dive into my thoughts about that whole situation. Good luck with the rest of Preptober and with NaNoWriMo!

I love having a playlist for my novel BUT I don’t write to it. It’s funny I can’t write to lyrics but the playlist (with lyrics) is what I play when not writing like while driving or brainstorming. It brings me back to my story and gives me more scenes and tension etc. BUT YEAH- no lyrics while I’m writing! I actually LOVE to write to ASMR rooms with rainstorms or jazz or whatever the theme. You should check them out!! They have stuff for all genres without lyrics.

Oh man your review definitely makes me want to go read her works! My own WIP is an Ancient Greek fantasy epic so I’ve been trying to read all these different retellings but the ones I’ve read are a different vibe entirely with how serious and purple their prose is. I struggled through a number of them and DNF’d another because it was just not the right vibe. If you’re into the artsy pretty prose, Circe and Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller might be up your alley along with Ariadne by Jennifer Saint.

This pleases me as a psychology graduate. Characters and how they develop will somewhat depend on how writers write them and later edit them. It's really, indeed, about making them feel real but also making them feel they suit the story they are written for. Good work and I hope you keep making more videos. One thing that helps with making characters different from one another is making sure they can disagree and argue. It also helps to really make them interact with one another.

As a Portuguese American, the history of the Iberian Peninsula isn't really well known in the States... So, be prepared to look for scholarly books. Or if you're lucky, more entertaining reads.

This is all really fantastic advice. As someone getting into writing stories for the first time the process of world building has been pretty daunting. I'm writing and drawing my own comic and the balance of fat/lean meat is a hard one to strike. Like adding too much is annoying, but so is having unanswered questions. Hell I like learning new little useless facts about the world's I read about. I guess the only advice I have, at least as a fantasy writer, is to not be afraid to ask "why not?" To your ideas. A lot of the beginning of my writing and drawing journey was bogged down by "why does my world need this" which is a very important question to answer. But for some things, I feel it's both fun and intriguing to have a few "why nots" in there. Like in my setting the moon and sun are giant glowing jewels in the sky, spawned front a great calamity that happened eons ago. Does this impact the story a ton? Right now, no, but I mean it's a cool idea to me and it doesn't hinder the story. So why not?

Great video! Thankfully I don’t struggle with world builders disease, and I think the biggest thing that helps me is keeping the information relevant and restricted to the narrative. I regularly ask myself if the MC would know or care about something like the politics and the answer is generally no - so I might make a note of a timeline of who’s in power when etc but otherwise that doesn’t make it into the book. Does leaving out a specific detail lead the reader to be confused? No? Does adding it enrich the layers of the narrative? No? Then it doesn’t need to be there.
