Storm from X-Men, inking demo. Back from New York Comic Con. It was very fun but exhausting. Here’s a quick inking demo while I unpack and go into a deep Odin sleep.

If you could live in ONE fantasy world—but had to live there as an ordinary person with no special powers—which world would you choose? And, more importantly... Would you actually survive? #booksky #readersky #fantasybooks

What's more important in fantasy? A brilliant plot with average characters... or unforgettable characters with an average plot? You can only choose one. #booksky #readersky #fantasybooks

Depends on the tale. Some stories need some others don't.

This advice can apply to learning any language. Kids and young adult books are very helpful for this.

I think that is the lot in life for most of us. But you know fake it until you can't fake it anymore I guess?

I write fantasy although sometimes I may throw in the random horror novella.

How do you feel about descriptions when it comes to bad smells in a fantasy world?

Fantasy readers: what’s the ONE thing that instantly ruins a fantasy story for you? For me, it’s when characters make obviously irrational decisions just to force the plot forward. What’s yours? #fantasybooks #booksky

Yes, we as authors need to be entertained by our own creations.

Yes I have 8 published books. 4 are epic fantasy set in the same world. Two are urban fantasy. One is historical fantasy and the other is regular fantasy.

It is going well about mid way through the first draft.

Alberto Pupo @authoralbertopupo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Almost the midway point of the first draft for the new series. This will be my 9th novel as I have written 8 novels.

The Magicians was a good fantasy series but in my opinion the tv show was actually better.

We are always more skilled and heroic in our imagination.

Currently working on the first draft of a new fantasy novel set in a different world from the Mage Republic. The book will potentially spawn a series.

Inspiration is everywhere. Going for a walk by the beach. Or even sitting at a cafe observing. These things help my writing process. Fellow authors what do you do for inspiration? #writingcommunity #indieauthor

What makes a fantasy world feel real? For me, it isn't the magic. It's the consequences. Who benefits? Who suffers? What traditions change? What happens when people begin to fear the very thing that once protected them? Great worldbuilding leaves fingerprints on everything. #booksky #fantasy
