Thinking about world building

[k_a_webb]

One thing I’ve realised while working on the world walkers world building posts is that I know a lot about points in time, about characters, and there are worlds I know much better than others, but when it comes to knowing the whole timeline, from beginning to end, how the worlds look, and about all the races I’m still working things out. I will be going back to all the world posts to update them as I get to know each of the worlds better. They need, for a start, maps, which are one of my least favourite things to work out, mostly because I can’t draw maps. In the next couple of days I’ll be sorting out the calendars, so I know when the walkers and ‘demons’ arrive on other worlds and when they get back to Athare, which will be interesting. Then I have the tattoos to design, which is going to be just as difficult as the maps.

When I’ve done all the basic world posts, and I have two of those left, I’m going to make a start on the basic race posts. There will be a lot of them, because there are a lot of races on the worlds I’m currently working on. I’m looking forward to it though.
