About

We will be going through one of the most important parts of writing a novel or even a short story. World Building. We will cover everything from developing a setting, to the characters, and even the relationships and interconnection of all the elements. World Building is the basis of a novel, in which the plot can progress. Pt. 2 which will come after this series will be more focused on plot-building, and keep readers in. This is just how we set up the story, and hook the reader in.
