I’m sure there are any number of techniques for world building out there and if anyone’s reading this I’d be happy to know how you build the world in your books. But the method I’m using probably isn’t one many use. While in law school, I discovered that my key to writing was to pose a bunch of questions to myself and then figure out the answers. So far the same tactic seems to be working well for building the world my novel will exist in. I’ve posed a lot of questions for the world itself and the magic that will inhabit it. I don’t have a lot of answers to the questions yet, but the questions make me think before I put answers to paper. Now as I think about it, this is probably a result of the Socratic method used in law school, but I’ll use whatever works! So now I’ll pose a question to you my reader. How do you world build?
