When writing cozy fantasy, instead of stressing about "low stakes" conflict, it might be more fun to consider conflict that lends itself to *cozy* solutions.

Not with a view to info-dump everything you learn. But so that you can have characters and narration reference little details. You readers don't need to explicitly know every little detail of your world building to appreciate that it is there. #WritingTips #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

It might sound a bit niche if you don’t write about people hitting each other – or in my case, aliens – with swords, but I promise you that it’s a fascinating listen.'
Thanks to @suw for the shout-out. https://chocolateandvodka.com/2023/06/06/word-count-51-alex-north-webinar-on-thursday-insights-from-sword-fighting-planning-your-writing-year/

Within Western storytelling, the one rule that doesn't have exceptions is that your story needs conflict. Is this at odds with the low stakes nature of cozy fantasy?

Whatever your area of expertise, you know words that others do not. I call them "stop words." As in "stop reading."
In this week's Writer's Guide newsletter, I explain how I avoid big words (it's not that hard for me!) and how you can, too.
