What draws you to read fantasy fiction? Is it the imaginative, fantastical worlds? The glorious sword fights and epic battles?
The best fantasy books are fun: they capture the reader’s imagination and whirl them into an adventure. But underneath the fun premise, fantasy stories also have a strong, beating heart: they are tales of courage and sacrifice, friendship and love.
Fantasy fiction authors, in some ways, have it extra hard. Not only do they have to create compelling characters – they have to introduce the reader to mythical worlds and supernatural beings. The climax of their story is never just an importa...

Lecture #1: Introduction — Brandon Sanderson on Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy
Welcome to my first (very blurry - it should be fixed for the next upload) lecture of my BYU 2020 creative writing class. As you probably surmised from the title of the video, I focus on writing science fiction and fantasy.
This class was more of an introduction for the rest of the term but I do discuss a few important things: creating writing habits, a bit about discovery/architect writing, and how writing groups should work.

What draws you to read fantasy fiction? Is it the imaginative, fantastical worlds? The glorious sword fights and epic battles?
The best fantasy books are fun: they capture the reader’s imagination and whirl them into an adventure. But underneath the fun premise, fantasy stories also have a strong, beating heart: they are tales of courage and sacrifice, friendship and love.
Fantasy fiction authors, in some ways, have it extra hard. Not only do they have to create compelling characters – they have to introduce the reader to mythical worlds and supernatural beings. The climax of their story is never just an important conversation or discovering who the killer is. Fantasy authors craft thrilling battle scenes, dark curses being broken, and entire worlds saved from destruction… just in the nick of time, of course.
If you’re crafting your own fantasy fiction book, here are some scene writing tips to help guide you through some of the special challenges you may face.

Looking at a physical book and thinking, how on earth did you get here, can feel a little overwhelming - even I look at my own and question where it even came from. But I have a super easy way of getting my mind working when creating the world, characters and plot my stories will be based around.
The Authors Handbook, including Plot Timeline templates, Character Profile Prompts, and Chapter Summaries for a smoother writing experience here https://amzn.to/3J9t4AC
Here's Ten Easy Steps to Write a Fantasy Novel and begin building your story.
Step 1: Determine the Genre and Subgenre
The first step to writing a fantasy novel is to decide what type of fantasy you want to write. There are several subgenres within the fantasy genre, such as high fantasy, urban fantasy, dark fantasy, and more. This step is important because it will set the tone for the rest of your novel.
Prompt: Research different fantasy subgenres and decide which one you want to write.
Step 2: Create a Detailed World
The world your novel takes place in is a vital aspect of your story. Develop a detailed world that your characters will live in. Consider the history, geography, cultures, magic systems, and politics of your world. Your world will serve as a foundation for your story, so make it as unique and imaginative as possible.
Prompt: Create a map of your world and jot down any important details about its history, culture, and magic systems.
Step 3: Develop Your Characters
Your characters are the heart of your story. Develop your characters so that they are well-rounded and relatable. Consider their personalities, goals, strengths, weaknesses, and motivations. You should have a clear understanding of your main characters before you start writing.
Prompt: Create character profiles for your main characters, including their backstories and motivations. (There's some great journals to do this on Amazon too!)
Step 4: Outline Your Plot
Your plot should be carefully crafted and engaging. Outline the events that will occur in your story, including the inciting incident, rising action, climax, and resolution. Consider how your characters will develop throughout the story and how the plot will be resolved.
Prompt: Create an time of your plot, including the key events that will occur in each chapter. (My Authors Handbook has all of these included! https://amzn.to/3J9t4AC)
Step 5: Establish the Rules of Magic
If your fantasy novel involves magic, it's important to establish the rules of magic early on. Consider how magic works in your world, including its limitations, consequences, and how it affects your characters and their surroundings.

Looking at a physical book and thinking, how on earth did you get here, can feel a little overwhelming - even I look at my own and question where it even came from. But I have a super easy way of getting my mind working when creating the world, characters and plot my stories will be based around.
The Authors Handbook, including Plot Timeline templates, Character Profile Prompts, and Chapter Summaries for a smoother writing experience here https://amzn.to/3J9t4AC
Here's Ten Easy Steps to Write a Fantasy Novel and begin building your story.
Step 1: Determine the Genre and Subgenre
The first step to writing a fantasy novel is to decide what type of fantasy you want to write. There are several subgenres within the fantasy genre, such as high fantasy, urban fantasy, dark fantasy, and more. This step is important because it will set the tone for the rest of your novel.
Prompt: Research different fantasy subgenres and decide which one you want to write.
Step 2: Create a Detailed World
The world your novel takes place in is a vital aspect of your story. Develop a detailed world that your characters will live in. Consider the history, geography, cultures, magic systems, and politics of your world. Your world will serve as a foundation for your story, so make it as unique and imaginative as possible.
Prompt: Create a map of your world and jot down any important details about its history, culture, and magic systems.
Step 3: Develop Your Characters
Your characters are the heart of your story. Develop your characters so that they are well-rounded and relatable. Consider their personalities, goals, strengths, weaknesses, and motivations. You should have a clear understanding of your main characters before you start writing.
Prompt: Create character profiles for your main characters, including their backstories and motivations. (There's some great journals to do this on Amazon too!)
Step 4: Outline Your Plot
Your plot should be carefully crafted and engaging. Outline the events that will occur in your story, including the inciting incident, rising action, climax, and resolution. Consider how your characters will develop throughout the story and how the plot will be resolved.
Prompt: Create an time of your plot, including the key events that will occur in each chapter. (My Authors Handbook has all of these included! https://amzn.to/3J9t4AC)
Step 5: Establish the Rules of Magic
If your fantasy novel involves magic, it's important to establish the rules of magic early on. Consider how magic works in your world, including its limitations, consequences, and how it affects your characters and their surroundings.
Prompt: Develop a magic system for your world, including the types of magic that exist and how it is used.

A great villain can make or break a story. Create a unique and compelling villain that challenges your protagonist and adds tension to your plot. Consider the motivations, strengths, weaknesses, and backstory of your villain.

Welcome to my first (very blurry - it should be fixed for the next upload) lecture of my BYU 2020 creative writing class. As you probably surmised from the title of the video, I focus on writing science fiction and fantasy.
This class was more of an introduction for the rest of the term but I do discuss a few important things: creating writing habits, a bit about discovery/architect writing, and how writing groups should work.
