World Building

I am going to put everything on hold--The Risen, The Parallels, Don't Look Down, everything--to work on a new, more serious, book. It's going to be called Night Watch, and it's going to be epic.

Anyways, it's a fantasy novel. And with fantasy novels come intricate worlds. With intricate worlds comes the whole process of building that intricate world. With that, comes work.

Okay, so, although most world building doesn't take much effort, you still need to do it. I am amazing at world building (in my opinion) and here's what I know:

You should always have a set of natural laws and compare those to our world.

You should always have how your world looks in contrast to ours (moons, suns, plants, etc.).

You should list the type of people that live in this world (races, good/bad).

You should also add any additional facts about this world.

and that's it!
