Read any book, you'll see, all chapter twos are building worlds.<br /><br />Also, I think you do it amazingly well, so I wouldn't worry about it.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244475646807937843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172525217156083767.post-80092700164974067982012-05-25T08:00:21.921-07:002012-05-25T08:00:21.921-07:00Yes, Kathryn, I figured that out all by myself.

On our trip to DL, we listened in the car and I was getting all excited and squeeing about it and taking notes and my husband thought I was nuts.<br /><br />Also, I know your method and while it obviously works for you, it scares the crap out of me!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244475646807937843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172525217156083767.post-79713443481198925322012-05-25T07:59:11.259-07:002012-05-25T07:59:11.259-07:00Ooo.

So sue me. Smooth and flawless may not be my style. I tend to care more about the characters and plot. Maybe I should go back through my book just analyzing world building. Crap.

Did you figure that out, Miss Em? Good luck with naturally weaving in worldbuilding. My method? Overwrite it to death, then go back and hack most of it way. :-)Kathryn Purdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337488365098780737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172525217156083767.post-36386637476971765262012-05-24T21:23:44.180-07:002012-05-24T21:23:44.180-07:00I wish I were a builder...
