Summer is Here

So, I've got this wild desire to just spring up out of my chair and run to the ocean just to dip in a toe before running back again, countermanded by the fact that it would be physically impossible for me to do it, not just because of the distance, but also because I'd probably have to use my walker even to attempt the task and currently have tendonitis in my Achilles. It would not greatly surprise me if that added issue is precisely what is giving me that urge, but I digress. Sigh....

Anyway, since I can't go enjoy the world much, I thought it might be fun to bring a few worlds closer to me instead. As such I'll have my worldbuilding companion at just 99 cents from Jun 13-20 2023 so you writers, or even wannabe writers, could go grab one from the deal section below.

But why should you want to? Well, I just created a landing page where you could learn all about that, or maybe even grab a copy of the workbook itself if you don't decide you'd rather build yours from scratch.

How to Worldbuild

As mentioned in both books, the first keys to building a world are your premise and your scenarios. For example,

a premise: young woman gets sucked into a portal to hell and meets a hot demon who agrees to help her get home again.

first scenario: current day Earth, modern house, early morning.

second scenario: demon's kitchen, similar to earth house but carved directly into rock.

third scenario: weird dimensional world rocky cave opens into sunlit old west town...


I pulled that scenario data from my short story, Oh Heck, if you're wondering...

Oh Heck!
oh heck
