Building My First Fantasy Novel and Brand
Hey đ Iâm Tyler, from Kansas City. Right now Iâm working on finishing and publishing my first fantasy novel, Dawnbringerâs Heir. It follows a kid who finds a magical chess piece that pulls him into a war-torn world and forces him to step into something bigger than himself. The biggest thing that slowed me down has definitely been overthinking and wanting everything to be perfect. Iâve spent a lot of time tweaking, reworking, second-guessing⌠all that. But Iâve been learning that perfection isnât really the goalâand honestly, not everyone is going to love what you create anyway. Reading is subjective. Once I accepted that, it got a lot easier to just move forward and actually make progress. Iâm aiming for a September release and working on things beyond just writingâlike cover design, trailers, and figuring out how to actually get the book in front of people. I donât just want to publish itâI want it to connect and mean something. Excited to be here and see what everyone else is building.
