Sam Accardi The second book of the Chronicles of Enayra series: Phantoms.
Sam Accardi This is going to sound incredibly cliche but write.

Just write. Write anything. Write and then reread it, and get as many beta readers as you can. Write until you're happy with it.

Sam Accardi Getting to craft this vast, massive worlds and lores, and filling them with creatures and folklore and history, and seeing this fabric of culture and history come to life within them.
Sam Accardi I take a Me day. My writer's block is often linked with my mental health, so I do what I have to do to recharge. Hike, drive, walk, music, gaming, watch movies, rest, nap, spend time with my wife.

Whatever I have to do to recharge and get myself back in the writing headspace.
Sam Accardi If my own world doesn't count, then I'd say Alagaësia.

Dragons? Dwarves? Cool magic? Elves? I could potentially be friends with a dragon?

Count me in!
