Pushing beyond the limits is a staple in Progression Fantasy that I think attracts many readers. It shows that deep down we all have the ability to achieve greatness. We just need to work extremely hard. #ProgressionFantasy #BookSky #TheWanderingSpire #SFF #DragonBallZ

One of my most memoriable scenes from a book was when Chestal Thicketsway, a small but fearless kender, angers a bunch of hunting cats to make them chase after him. This is in the book, The Gates of Thorbardin. What was your favorite scene? #Fantasy #BookSky #DragonLance

Growing up Tai-Chi Master was one of my favorite movies. It showed the story of two close friends drift apart and gain in strength. One toward balance and Good vs and the other toward power and evil. The final fight was epic! #kungfu #ProgressionFantasy #AmWriting

Character power levels and team dynamics interest me. The stories I appreciate are ones where each character contributes, and no one character outshines the rest. In another words, the main character couldn't succeed without her teammates. #AmWriting #MyHeroAcademia #ProgressionFantasy #BookSky

I've trained and instructed martial arts from striking to grappling for over two decades. There is a beauty to combat. I aim to add my personal experience into my writing. To create visually stunning scenes, as well as drop tibets of fighting wisdom. #AvatartheLastAirbender #ProgressionFantasy #SFF

My goals for writing the Wandering Spire series: 1) Write a Progression Fantasy novel where characters grow stronger over time 2) Create an epic realm spanning saga 3) Establish a balanced hard magic system 4) Main character utilizes wits and cunning #ForgottenRealms #Fantasy #BookSky

“Runes are the foundation of magic. You must learn to read them, and writing them is a form of art. It takes daily practice," Daverius gently told his sister. An excerpt from the Wandering Spire series. #DeliciousInDungeon #ProgressionFantasy #RuneMagic #HardMagic #WorldBuilding

Writing about relationships is something that fascinates me. I'm a sci-fi and fantasy writer first and foremost. Not a romance writer. However, I create characters, and human connection is a crucial element. The challenge is making it real, and not detract from the genre. #ProgressionFantasy #SFF

One of the inspriations for my protagonist was the character, Door, from Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. I wanted to write a Progression Fantasy story where the main character needed to rely on their wits, cunning, and bravery to overcome challenges, much like Door did. #BookSky #ProgressionFantasy #SFF
