Hi everyone,
As I mentioned some time ago I'm looking to put Arturia's world 'Solterra' on paper. Problem is, the world till now has only excisted in my head and there is al lot of lore. Honestly i've been struggling due to information overload. There is too much I want to share and put on paper.
So far I have managed to narrow it down to what you can see below. But i'm not sure how to proceed. I know there are quiet a few of you who are great at story telling, i've read some of them. So i'm here to ask if you have any advice to give to help me get started?
I have never writen a story in my life! As for reading, I tend to only read manga, manwha and manhua. I need pictures with my stories, i'm a visual person :D
Any thought or advice would be greatly appreciated!
