Well I didn't even try...

Due to unforeseen business with my real life, Script Frenzy didn't happen at all. I'm not surprised of course, but I did want to give it a try at least.

Anywho...

I've been thinking about my novel again...world building mostly. I've learned a great deal from some of the steampunk and regular novels I've recently been reading and figure it's about time I tackle that task myself.

So, let the world building begin!

And now folks, I ask for your help--
All you have to do is ask a question about my world(i.e. what is the main country's traditional food, what do they call holidays, do they have a death penalty, etc)--any question and I'll try my best to answer it in the next post. Perhaps you'll ask something I have thought of yet.

Until then.

Ugh...worldbuilding

So after much deliberation I decided that my story would be best if written in an original world.
My main reasons:
-Different origin story than the Earth
-Didn't want to use real city names, etc
-Wanted to humans to have a generally different believes toward different racial groups
-Radically different vampire origin story

Plus the story does not rely on it being on Earth.

So far it's been more detailed than I would have thought. I've been using site #1 and site #2. The sites are both similar and site #1 is probably borrowing a lot from site #2. But I prefer the order that site #2 uses--it just seems more logical to me.

My biggest issue is figuring out how to create an original, urbanized world for my character--one that has departed from the old ways, superstition and magic. But before all that I have start drawing my planet and all its continents, since I'm sort of stuck there.

I plan to try some more tonight. If it gets daunting I'll just remind myself that I only need to figure out what is essential to my story--the rest can be worked out later.

To work!
