Writing Tips — World Building

The other day, I hosted a young writer’s workshop at the wonderful Thrive cafe. All food and drink plant-based, woohoo! We focused on world building, with questions like what is the weather like in our world? Does magic exist? If so, what are the rules of magic?

The more we know our story world, whether it be a real place or fantasy, the stronger our story will be.

In this exercise, Beatrice A Tale of Journeys already shows a good knowledge of her story world(s)! The questions helped her find out what story research to do next — ie what plants, if any, were in the Sahara during the time of ancient Egypt?
