									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='http://kingdompen.org/members/joy/' rel="nofollow ugc">@joy</a> I think that maps are the most important thing. You should at least map the direct areas where your story takes place, because you need to have consistent distances &#8211; we don&#8217;t want it to take a month to go somewhere and a week to get back. Also, if you have traveling in your story, you want to let your map shape the travel, so that the&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-72363"><a href="http://kingdompen.org/forums/topic/worldbuilding/#post-65397" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

<p>Fantasy, more than any other genre, is about the past, so the most important thing to nail down is the past history of your story world. Allegorical aspects are good to nail down early too if you want to have them. If you&#8217;re going to have magic, nail that down early.

<p>The first thing, I think, is to realize that worldbuilding is not so much a list of facts about <em>where</em> your story takes place as it is a <em>key</em>&#8212; like the key on a map&#8212; to discovering <em>why</em> your&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-72256"><a href="http://kingdompen.org/forums/topic/worldbuilding/#post-65287" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='http://kingdompen.org/members/joy/' rel="nofollow ugc">@joy</a> That&#8217;s a pretty cool idea 🙂 The only problem with it is that if the kids aren&#8217;t heroes, they&#8217;re not extremely involved in the story, so it might end up having to be short&#8230; idk 😀 Thanks!!

I don&#8217;t have an immediate preference between option A or B, but I would add that something to keep in mind, is your protagonist&#8217;s character development. I would ask which situation is the better opportunity to show his growth as a person.<br />

The first one, to me, sounds more original, and interesting. 😀</p>

<p>Also Joy, I&#8217;m sure it counts. The aim of Nano isnt to write 30k in order, just to write them. As long as they&#8217;reall from the same book, I think its fine.</p>

You may be surprised by the new insights writing in a different genre can give. I personally found this helpful. I usually write fantasy but sci-fi has helped me to find my voice. Which I am now using to write in fantasy. </p>

I don&#8217;t think any of us will ever entirely escape that kind of hurt, and if we all stopped because where we are right now isn&#8217;t where we wish we were, no one would ever write anything.<br />

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey all!</p>
<p>It is my pleasure to introduce you all to the new Kingdom Pen site&#8211;now faster /and/ mobile-friendly. 😀</p>
<p>As you may notice, it looks quite different. And while I <em>think</em> I&#8217;ve caught all the bugs, there may still be some that have evaded my eagle-eye. So if you find something, drop us a note here or email us at <a href="mailto:kingdompenmag@gmail.com" rel="nofollow ugc">kingdompenmag@gmail.com</a>.&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-53383"><a href="http://kingdompen.org/forums/topic/new-website-party/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey writers!  </p>
<p>So, I was wondering: What is your favourite tool (or tools) to use as a writer?  I probably should say that I&#8217;m referring to &#8220;tool&#8221; as a resource or source of inspiration.  And, before you say it, Kingdom Pen, its courses, articles, et cetera, go without saying.  😉 </p>

But with obvious parallels.</p>
