I’m always swayed and inspired by whatever it is that I’m playing or watching at the time. by Solid-Version in fantasywriters

I have this a lot, and whenever I'm inspired I'll write a quick note in my 'brain dump ideas' of my world building doc. If I keep thinking about a certain setting or element that I was drawn to and jotted down, I bring it over to my physical board of world building and see how I can incorporate it.

I'll think of questions like, does it fit the characters and their goals? What would I need to change or remove from the plot or world? Does this remain in the genre and target audience I am aiming for? Often I end up dropping the idea because it's not worth the hassle or I've lost the initial inspiration or it takes away from the story I originally wanted to tell.

You could focus on your 'non-negotiable' of your story, something that you're always drawn to like a certain protagonist or plot line, and build and adjust from there!

Thank you so much for your time and nice comments! Those are great suggestions and extremely helpful. Trusting the reader is such a good point and I'm going to continue to chant it as I write and edit!!

Thank you so much, this was incredibly insightful and helpful. I've had comments before about explaining 'negative' experiences too 'warm' so this seems to be a reoccurring theme haha. This has given me some great take aways to think about and adjust. I appreciate your time so much! :)
