Why I wrote this eBook
When I started writing fantasy, I kept bouncing between blog posts, YouTube videos, writing forums, and advice threads trying to stitch together a plan. Most of it was too vague, too advanced, or just didn’t apply to the kind of stories I wanted to write. This ebook is the guide I wish I had back then—a clear, organized system to get you from idea to finished draft, without the detours.
