Some tips for writing a fantasy book?

It looks like you have a good start- write the first and last chapters and then connect the dots if you can think that way, or create a flowchart of events from beginning to end. Another way that you could do it is create a 'rough draft' form, where you write only the basics, one chapter at a time, and then go back and expand on it.

Hope this helps!

BTW, if you get writer's block, try writing poetry. You look like the type of writer who could benefit from that.

Try to not use to ''big' words, if you know what I mean. Like 'saccharine' or something. But I'm Swedish so maybe that's a common word in the U.S. =) Anyhoo, you should make is as action-filled as possible (How many times did Hermione, Ron and Harry break the rules?) and funny, too. Nobody likes a boring book. And the plot should definately be original - and something you like to write about, it's your passion. That's all I can give you for now. Hope I helped =)

One of the most important things I was taught was "show, don't tell." If a room is "cold," then don't say "it was cold." Say something like "I shivered uncontrollably as I watched my breath rise in the air like wisps of smoke." Get it? You probably don't have to do it all the time, but if you're describing things, it's really boring to just tell it straight up. This will make your writing have a lot more substance to it.

Also, Stephen King says to limit the adverbs (happily, sadly, angerly, etc). I have to admit I do agree.

The best of luck to you in your writing! I hope you find it as rewarding as I do!

It might be good to have the lead character go along the road that tells why the God race died off and maybe have magic and evil something to do with it.
