Today on Fantasy Writing for Barbarians, we’re hitting the road—literally! I dive into an all-too common question: How do you write engaging travel scenes without boring your readers?
Drawing inspiration from fantasy classics like The Wheel of Time and A Song of Ice and Fire, we’ll explore strategies to keep your story moving. I’ll break down how to make travel scenes emotionally impactful, layer in tension and world-building, and avoid the dreaded repetitiveness that might be plaguing your manuscript.
