Creating a Fantasy World – Writing Things Down

This isn’t about world building as an end goal.

I’m not planning a game system, languages or anything of that type. I’m reverse engineering a world which I’ve had a clear picture in my mind for twenty years. And it’s hard. It’s so easy to just write and let your world get away from you.

But I’m not good at remembering what I did. I tell the story of the Left Turn, in which, my characters turned left for 100 pages. Oops.

I’ve spent much of the last few years just trying to scrape up the energy to create, so this is my starting point. On Wednesdays, I stream part of the process on Twitch. If you’re interested you can see the work I’m doing here: Eidmaharia.

All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you’re not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you’re the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no’s become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly.

And you will tell them yes.Nike Ad
