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?

Don't Be Scammed

This is my number one pet peeve on being self published. There are people, website, and courses out there, that want your money. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND! There are websites out there that will charge you for services that you can learn to do yourself. If you don't want to learn these things that is fine, pay for it. But if the reason that you are paying for services is because you don't t think you can, you are totally wrong. I have said this before and I am saying it again. I knew nothing when I started in 2011, I had a computer. I had no idea how to send a file via e-mail. I had no idea what to do one I got the file back from the formatter. How do I get it uploaded on Amazon. I had no idea that I had more than one drive on the computer. I downloaded a file and had no idea where it went. If you are thinking that you can not learn this. I am proof you can learn if you set your mind to it and are willing to learn. Don't...
