Today is day 1 of writing my new novel. I've got a good outline, a list of scenes, and a reminder that this is all for fun. Wish me luck!

06.02.2026 14:43 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0If youโre looking for a fun, antifascist sci-fi multispecies buddy comedy book series (with a very good audiobook version), I highly recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl.
Iโm on Book 3 and itโs been a blast from start to finish.
I've never written Progression Fantasy before, so as I'm plotting the outline I'm really trying to be intentional with the *progression* aspect. How do the advancements line up with emotional beats? How are they communicated in a way that doesn't feel too gamey?
Lots of things to ponder.
Iโm moving on to Cradle books 11 and 12โฆ canโt believe how quickly Iโve gone through this series!

Yes, it *is* important that I watch these videos on the history of the medieval fishing economy. Thanks for asking.
Really trying to hone in on a key theme and logline before I start writing my progression fantasy novel. Not because I think Iโll 100% stick to it, but because I think I need that gentle nudge along the way to keep me on message and avoid unnecessary fluff

Are there any specific hashtags that fantasy writers on Bluesky like? Especially if they are for LitRPG or Progression Fantasy!

As I look to start my Progression Fantasy journey, I found this excellent video by @paultodkill.bsky.social about getting started on Royal Road!
And for you (or anybody!) else interested in LitRPG/Progression Fantasy, this flowchart by fellow author Sam Hinton is VERY handy:
