How do you write a good fantasy novel?

Question

I want to write a book on vampires but I don't know where to begin or even how to compose a chapter of the book.

Answer 1

the best thing to do would be to just start writing. don't think too hard, just do it

Answer 2

As a manic reader of fantasy, I would like to tell you not to repeat any of the stupid or overworked avenues, to add something different and to not have preconceived notions about your subject is what I would expect to buy your book. I loved Brian Lumley's vampire books for thier originality for example, and Anne Rice for the depth of detail and creativity. Terry Pratchett's Carpe Jugulum was terrific as it made fun of the silly notions I just mentioned. It gets so TIRING to sift through the same old story no matter how appealing the writing. Good luck!

Answer 3

Well, I guess a stalker is like a vampire, so since I have a stalker right now (!) I could write a VERY good fantasy novel!

Answer 4

Read. I realize this sounds contrary but reading will give you a feel for how others do it. Then get original and do your thing.

You start at the beginning: though there are some who start at the end and work backwards, I never liked this way myself but it has some advantages.

She fell as the world erupted around her.

And then you just keep going.

Answer 5

Orson Scott Card has a nifty little book that he wrote called HOW TO WRITE FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION. He goes into detail on world building, character creation, rules for magic, and pretty much all that you would need to know to write your fantasy novel. Check it out (I found it at my local library.)
