Ep06 – Melle Miller: Building Fantasy Worlds from the Ground Up

In this episode of *Writer Therapy Sessions*, Timothy speaks with fantasy author *Melle Miller*, creator of _Waking Chaos: The Scales of Amat' Aga_. Melle shares how a simple map made from spilled rice grew into an entire fantasy world filled with kingdoms, religions, histories, and cultures. Together they discuss worldbuilding, self-publishing through Amazon, balancing a full-time career with writing, designing book covers, using AI as a creative tool, and why every writer needs a system to keep an expanding story organized. If you've ever dreamed of building your own world—or wondered what it really takes to publish your first novel—this conversation offers an honest look at the creative process behind epic fantasy. ---------------------------------------- READ WAKING CHAOS: THE SCALES OF AMAT' AGA Amazon: https://a.co/d/06rkbumo Books2Read: https://books2read.com/u/4E6pRE ---------------------------------------- CONNECT WITH MELLE MILLER Email: mailto:[email protected] Twitter/X: https://x.com/MelissaMil67474 Facebook:   / melle.miller.54.2025   Instagram:   / mellemiller54   BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/bluebellemelle TikTok:   / melle.miller.54   YouTube:    / @mellemiller5414   ---------------------------------------- If you’re a writer looking for an encouraging, creative community, connect with Tim on Instagram:   / writertherapysessions     / timothycolombawrites   Writer Therapy Sessions features personal interviews with writers from all stages of their writing journey.
