@That_Writer_Girl_99 😂 😂 😂

What can I say? I learned from the best. 😉 @kate-flournoy

@That_Writer_Girl_99 a girl after my own heart. 😉

My thoughts exactly @kate-flournoy. That, to me, makes it one of the most interesting aspects of world-building.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 good thoughts. I played around a lot with government and where it fits in, but it was so equally part of all four of the pillars I couldn’t bring myself to make it its own separate one. 😛

*grins* *offers her advice even though she wasn’t tagged* @kate-flournoy and I have actually discussed this a lot recently, because my new WIP has a huge world–actually, two worlds, each with very different takes on the four pillars she mentioned.

@Catwing that’s super! Just poke me after NaNo/whenever you need me to go over it and I’ll be happy to. (poke me because otherwise I’m 99% likely to completely forget xD)

@anne-of-lothlorien Ah, look what you did to Christi!
