This week is all about writing fantasy and building magic systems!
We cover:
- What a magic system is designed to do
- The difference between soft vs. hard and low vs. high magic systems (and why knowing the difference matters)
- Practical ways to ground readers in the familiar, even when your world is totally new
- Strategies for overcoming those tricky mental blocks we all hit while building fantasy worlds (you're definitely not alone!)
- Gina’s powerful tips from brain science to help you connect with your readers on a deeper level
If you’ve ever struggled to craft magic systems or fantasy worlds readers can’t get enough of, this episode is for you. Gina and I will leave you feeling inspired, capable, and excited to dive into your own magical creations
