The Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy

Place yourself into the following situation: You begin in 2006 a novel that evolves into a larger-than-life epic. For the past two years you have been building up to the grand finale, the earth-shattering, mind-blowing, nail-biting ending to a story full of twists, turns, dips, and diversions that would make the Top Ten List of World’s Greatest Roller Coasters! Finally, you type out the words “The End” and those you have entrusted your work with applaud and say “That was cool.” There it is: your novel, completed.

Now what do you do?

Find out from the guy who is experiencing it first-hand, author J.C. Hutchins. After an incredible ending to his podcast trilogy, 7th Son, Hutch is refusing to slow down and for good reason. Once again, The Sarge has a sit down with friend, fellow podcaster, award-nominated author, and all-around-good-guy, J.C. Hutchins.
