Worldbuilding is critical to creating incredible, detailed worlds. With NaNoWriMo right around the corner, I thought it would be good to provide some additional resources for fantasy and science fiction writers.
Worldbuilding In Two Tips
Daniel Greene, a YouTuber and aspiring author, released a video yesterday about two awesome tips for worldbuilding. These tips primarily revolve around fantasy worldbuilding but could definitely be applicable to other genres.
Online Classes At No Cost
Another excellent resource is a YouTube channel I have recently discovered and love the content provided. Brandon Sanderson, bestselling sci-fi/fantasy author, teaches creative writing classes at BYU where he covers everything from plot and characters to worldbuilding and getting published. It is a treasure trove of information that I highly encourage you check out.
Please take the time and try some of these tips and resources out. You may be surprised how useful these could be for your story.
What are your thoughts on the video(s)? Did you find these helpful? Please let me know in the comments and I hope you all have a great writing and/or reading weekend.
Until next time, read, write, repeat.
