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/

Work Ethic

What is your work ethic????  It might get that book written sooner. I admit that televison is my distraction from writing.  I can not write in the living room, where the telvision is staring at me.  I know it talks to me.  Maybe your distraction is something dirrerent.  The dishes calling you to wash them or those dust bunnies talkling to you.  Whatever it is we need to stop listening to them. I always plan on writing more than I do.  I came home from work yesterday, and had plans to write, then I ate and started flipping channels and then the time slipped by and I didn't write anything.  I think it all come down to one's work ethic.  Some have one and some don't. I think I am one of them that does not have a strong work ethic.  The fact that I want my book finished, is what motivates me.  I want to be a writer, so I write. http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/
