Ideas are a dime a dozen. Execution is the hard part. Either get to work or drop your idea so that another talented anon can make it work

start with famous classic novels, go for the greeks, read famous plays, epic poems, novels again
write short stories after a year of daily reading

The whole "you need to read to write" is a stupid meme. I never read an entire book until after my self-published bullshit was getting 4 and 5 star reviews on Goodreads.

Post your book if you're not a coward! Let it free into the mouths of lions and let the lions tear it apart if it isn't worthy.

Clearly, since you thing trivial shit like characters, themes, plot twists and fucking world building are important in the slightest

The real problem is that your "creative ideas" for a trilogy are almost certainly banal clichès that have been done to death, and you don't realize it because you don't read enough.

Guaranteed that you wrote utter shit that appealed to shit for brains.

fpbp, I don't know where that meme came from that creative work doesn't require work, it's hard work like any other work, often even more so since you will stand for it 100%. Getting ideas isn't the big part, the big part is to bring them into the world. They also change a lot in the process

It doesn't matter. Write down what you got. Dante never read Homer and was still the greatest poet who ever lived.
