The Shape of Today

Worldbuilding

It's funny, how things work out.

On Sunday a guildmate who also happens to be an aspiring writer returned to GW2, and we chatted a bit and exchanged email addresses. He's someone I've always found to be quite pleasant, so I was happy to see him come back. I asked him to keep me updated on his work and his progress, so naturally he asked the same of me.

For some reason this jogged my memory of another long project I'd started once, so I did a bit of digging in the ol' filing cabinet...and sure enough, I found the binder for that showing that I'd done quite a bit more work on that than I remembered...and I realized I can not only resurrect it, but its similar theme to my "main" long project means I can tie them together with a fleshed-out mythology. Grandiose? Possibly. Fun? You bet!

So when I wasn't attending to household matters yesterday, I was writing. And thinking. This will take a lot of work and time, but if it works out it will be my own magnum opus, which every writer wants to have. Plus, it's the type of work I always wanted to see...and one that might just sell.

I've spent a lot of time in imagined worlds. It's time I did some worldbuilding of my own.
