Creating Magic Systems (Part 1) with Andrew Wall
The Writing Sparrow
10/09/23 • 37 min
Welcome back, folks, to our 100th episode! *hands out cake and caffeine*
For this special milestone, I figured it was about time we talked about one of my favourite things: how to write a great, believable magic system! And because this is such a fun topic AND it's for E100 (and because Andrew and I love talking about it), we've decided to make this a 3-parter.

How to Organise Your Writing Time with Bradley Gosselin

Pantsing Your Novel with Sullyn Shaw

To catch up with Sullyn check out her website, her Facebook, her Instagram, and her TikTok.

Plotting Your Novel with Emma Briedis
The Writing Sparrow
08/28/23 • 33 min
This week I'm so excited to talk to Emma Briedis about plotting! I myself am somewhere between plotter and pantser, but plotting is my first love, and it's my first approach with every WIP (the pantsing doesn't start until everything's outlined and I start writing - a recent revelation we'll discuss in more depth next week).
Emma and I discuss our approaches in this episode and answer your questions from social media.
