Indie Life: I is for Imagination in Writing Fantasy

 

This year's A to Z Challenge theme is: All About Foxwick.

The Indelibles

The Indelibles will be hosting a monthly feature called INDIE LIFE. Modeled after Alex Cavanaugh's awesome Insecure Writer's Group, this will be a chance for indie authors to post about indie life, find each other, offer support, encouragement, news, helpful hints, and anything else that makes life as an indie author a little easier.

What is Indie Life? How: Sign up on the Linky at the bottom of this page here. When: Post on the second Wednesday of the month. What: Write anything indie related: something that will inspire or help a fellow indie; something that celebrates a release or a milestone; something that talks about the ups and downs, joys and heartaches of Being Indie. Grab: The banner above to include in your posts!


I is for ... Imagination in Writing Fantasy

I love writing fantasy. True, I’ve written stories in our world, but there is something fun about creating your own world. Plus, I have to admit I’m a bit lazy when it comes to research. Always have been. But in fantasy in an alternate Earth, I can use my imagination. If I want something to work a certain way, then it’s my right. Within reason, of course. Even fantasy has to have some basis in reality. *laughs*

I think one of the reasons I love writing Foxwick so much is because it’s such a rich fantasy world and brings me a lot of joy. Despite having twenty-six flash fiction pieces and five short stories published and at least two more short story collections (another twelve short stories), a novella, and a novel trilogy in mind, I feel like I’ve just scratched the surface of this wonderful world.

Do you write fantasy?
