The WORST Writing Advice on the Internet – Fantasy Edition

Today on Fantasy Writing for Barbarians, we’re reacting to video from popular YouTuber Alyssa Matesic about the worst writing advice on the internet, but my commentary will be through the lens of the fantasy genre. From “Show Don’t Tell” to “Write Every Day,” we’re unpacking why common writing rules don’t always hold up in fantasy, and how to apply (or ignore) them without compromising your world, your story, or your voice. Here's a link to Alyssa's full video, where you can also subscribe to her channel! Want your question about fantasy writing featured on the show?
