    How Much Worldbuilding is Enough?

    I feel like you might be missing the point, or perhaps I misunderstood. I'd like to politely point out that a reasonable suspension of disbelief is an absolute requirement for a reader of fantasy; without it, the magical situations obviously wouldn't have any effect. I feel that its our job to...

    Outline vs Discovery?

    I've always struggled with writing what works vs what I want to see happen. Generally I don't write anything more than a vague outline and let the words flow and the story, to some degree, write itself. Recently, I've been trying to outline more. This works on some stories better than others...

    How Much Worldbuilding is Enough?

    I have always found it useful to spend a few hours world building. I like to have more information than I could possibly use in a story. If I find myself getting bored, or sometimes if I'm getting too involved, I stop and start writing. Often the best ideas, and the most creative and original...

    Hey guys!

    I like to think of myself as an adequate writer, I stick mostly to the short story and have only been writing a few months. I have been an avid reader in most genres, however, for all of my life. I'd be very appreciative if you guys would be kind enough to help me out on my journey in any way...
