30 Days of WorldBuilding
►http://www.web-writer.net/fantasy/days/index.html
A lot of times, people want to write a novel and think “I want to write fantasy, but there’s so much world-building I would have to do— I haven’t done any of it!” As everyone signing up for NaNoWriMo or any writing challenge quickly learns, this is really the self-editor speaking; it’s another way of saying “I can’t.”
So, give yourself 7 and a half hours this month— 15 minutes a day— to build a world. It’s not going to be Perfect or Set. Why would it be? You haven’t actually written the story yet, you haven’t tested its limits. But it’ll give you something to start with, something to feel comfortable about when you start.
