The writer's work must not be limited to pure story writing. Ultimately, every author, in his own way, is a creator of worlds , of his own realities that he describes, more or less similar to the reality we live in or even remotely distant. I've always seen the creation of a fictional universe as a method of writing stories in a more organized , perhaps more confined way, even if this adjective is not entirely correct. But how to create a world? By defining its own cosmogony and observing its laws. Setting and scenography The creation of a fantasy world requires a precise cosmogony. It's a topic that I want to explore further, because when the writer has his own world in mind, then everything becomes clearer, more flowing. The boundaries of his universe have been delineated and writing stories about that world will be easier.
Myths and legends The study of ancient myths and legends is certainly helpful for the fantasy writer. Limiting your knowledge to a few readings of fantasy novels certainly does not stimulate creativity. The damage is that the writer ends up creating worlds resembling others, worlds that readers have already known through Tolkien, Brooks, Eddings and many others. There are also ancient works, including Phone Number Data the Latin and Greek classics, which are interesting to read. I own a few, as well as a small collection Phone Number Data of books of myths, fables and legends: Caribbean myths and legends Fairy tales and legends of the Far North Ancient Celtic fairy tales and legends Viking myths and legends Irish Fairy Tales and Lore by TC Croker The Round Table novels Italian fairy tales by Italo Calvino The Arabian Nights Myths and legends of India Fables and myths of Ancient Egypt Japanese fairy tales Stories and legends of Transylvania Legends of the American Indians Fairy Tales by HC Andersen The Brothers Grimm's fairy tales Legends and fairy tales by H.
Hesse The Great Raid (Táin Bó Cúailnge) The most beautiful Italian folk tales Metamorphosis by PO Nasone Metamorphoses of Apuleius Iliad Odyssey Phaedrus' Fables Aesop's Fables It's not much, but it's a start. The limits of the known Find out what is rarely talked about, find essays and publications shrouded in mystery, look for as much information as possible on everything that ordinary people dismiss as nonsense. But this is terrain that the fantasy writer must explore, pushing himself ever deeper. Also in this case I have started to build a small library of works that can be useful for developing worlds and writing stories. The Morning of the Magicians by Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier The mystery of Fulcanelli's cathedrals Helldust by Peter Kolosimo Italy cosmic mystery by Peter Kolosimo At the limits of the known by Jacques Bergier The polar myth. The Archetype of the Poles in Science, Symbolism, and the Occult by Joscelyn Godwin The golden branch. Study of Magic and Religion by James G. Frazer Parallel realities I'm experimenting with this narrative technique.
