World Building For A Fantasy Novel

This is new for me. I started out as a Romance Writer, Moved to Paranormal Romance Writer to Zombie Writer to Christian Writer. Now I am venturing into being a Fantasy Writer.

So I will blog on how my writing is going. This is what I have done so far:

1. I googled world building and found a great PDF to print out (Google The Ultimate Worldbuilding Template and print it out or save it on your computer.

2. Went and bought new notebooks and 1 sketchpad notebook. The sketchpad notebook I am using for my drawings (Not that I can draw at all) and to place important ideas or whatever for a quick reference.

3. I went online to find pictures of my characters. I looked at book covers to find my pictures (Google premade bookcovers) I printed out the covers, cut out what I wanted and placed them in my sketch pad. I also Goggled Fantasy Characters. Just to find pictures of what I want my characters to look like.

4. I Googled Old English Names to find my Character's Name. Google- Fantasy Character Names, Old Biblical Names, Old Scottish Names, whatever kind of name you are looking for.

5. Now I have my Characters in my sketch pad and a PDF of World Building.

6. Now I can start Plotting. That is where I am now.

7. I did write the 1st seen of the book. To introduce the Characters. Not a complete scene just a general idea of who they are and what they want

8. I am still plotting. That is where I am at. I have my Characters and still working on the World Building.

Where are you at in your writing?

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me. I still turned my computer on and started writing. That is the only way the story is going to get written. Do I feel like writing? Nope. Do if feel like Blogging? Nope. I write cause that is what I do. So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect. I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what. whether I feel like it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/

Get that Book Published

USA UK Denmark Asia FREE On Kindle Unlimited Write no matter what anyone says. We all have a story to tell. If you are a writer, your friends and family might get why you write. I know that my family does not get me at all. They just roll their eyes and ignore the fact that I am now a self-published writer. They don't care. So I don't talk about my writing to them. Why waste my time. Instead, I write. I might not write 2,000 words everyday. What I do everyday is, I write. I write and it might only be 100 words, but I wrote something. I blog and I consider that writing. I have people come to my blog everyday. People are reading what I write, like you are reading what I have written, therefore I am a writer. I know that it is lonely sometimes and you wonder why bother. I write to live. I can not write. You can be a self-published writer in less than a mont...
