How to Write Fiction 3: World Building

[@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment]

Thanks for bringing up how world-building doesn't JUST mean creating an original world/location from scratch like in a High Fantasy or Sci Fi. But as you're focusing on that standard definition here, I'd love to get your insight on the world-building of stories in "our world". Future vid?😃

It would be wonderful, and certainly helpful, if you did an entire class on worldbuilding!

I'm really liking that your how-to explanations on these topics don't require spending hundreds of hours. I'm someone who goes "If it's not relevant, who cares?" but I know a lot of people who really struggle with planning too much detail.

Thanks! There's a balance for sure. Some people don't do enough prep work and others can't get past the planning stage.

Great overview. Please watch Star Trek, Season 1, Episode 28, “The City on the Edge of Forever”, written by Harlan Ellison. It was deemed so good, it saved the series from early cancellation. Would love to get your opinion on how it fits into your world-building-plus-storytelling criteria.
