@epicaddie2 Glad I could be of service! Go forth and conquer! 😀

Late to the party, but welcome to the forum @dekreel!

Hiya, @epicaddie2! My favorite character in the Wingfeather Saga is Janner. I like Kalmar and Artham a lot, too. Ikr, the last book! I cried both times I read it. I totally agree, Peterson is awesome. Have you heard his music. He writes really good music, too, and his voice is awesome.

@epicaddie2 I wish I had profound, mind-blowingly wise advice, but… well this is as close as I’m gonna get. 😉 I’ve been knee-deep in worldbuilding for a while, and something that I’ve found helps me is to ask “why?” about things. For example, I decided that, as a rule, dwarves are cheery folk. WHY?? I decided it was because they have very…[Read more]

@ingridrd I love listening to soundtracks – they often remind me of my daydreamed stories. It’s awesome. Have you heard the song “Shells” from the Finding Dory movie. It’s the song that’s playing when Dory (SPOILER ALERT!!!) reunites with her parents. When I hear that song, I also think of reunion or reconciliation.

@emily So yeah I would highly…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Yep. I would also direct you here: https://kingdompen.org/category/articles/worldbuilding/

@epicaddie2 I’m working through this myself at the moment, but I do have one or two things to say.

First, you want to develop your world well before you start writing. Sure, you should only spend so much time building your story world. You have to start eventually, but spending a whole month world building would not be unreasonable. A good…[Read more]

@Ingridrd millions.

Okay, maybe not millions… ;P But practically every piece of music I hear reminds me of something or someone somewhere. This is one of my favorites, for the brother (king) of my current MC.

@catwing Yeah, sorry, I got the email. I just saw a shiny and got distracted. 😉

@Emily Why, thank you. 😉 LEAVES!!!!
@salome01w4g Glad to hear you’re alright. 🙂

*moans petulantly* Why are there no Floridian KeePers?

@dekreel I can’t pick a favorite creature. Although, the description for the Wexter is one of my favorites. I do not want to wake up in a donkey costume declaring my undying love to a barn door. 😛 You have signed copies of ALL THE BOOKS!!?? *promptly faints* *revives* Wait, you live in TX? Wow, we have a lot of Texan KeePers!
@ingridrd Yes.…[Read more]

@daeus I. Want. To. Do. This. So badly!!! But, I’m afraid I just don’t have the time. *is sad*
Oh, by the way, I started reading Fools in the Darkness, and I’m enjoying it muchly!

@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. 😛
It’s probably the most perfect manifestation of a country’s EiL within itself, whereas Economy is a further exploration of that outside of…[Read more]

*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.

1. History
2. Religion
3. Geography
4. Economy

If I could squeeze in a fifth one, though, I’d add…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Ooooh I was talking about this a while back… let me go copy and paste my emails… XD

It’s a fairly simple thing, but once you delve into it there’s a lot to work with.
Basically, I came up with four pillars I think every culture is built on.

1. History
2. Religion
3. Geography
4. Economy

In that order. History and Religion…
