Let me explain very quickly. And hope you will forgive and understand. I am in the middle of doing some revisions at the request of an agent!
And...
I have a little secret I'm not at liberty to discuss. Just yet.
So, I have a quick tip for today's post. And then I'm off to revise.
Since we are talking about world building, there is one thing I would caution. There is a fine line between back story and telling too much, but with a a new world, completely different than what we are used to, with strange names and customs, it is important you keep the world building easy to understand for a reader. Names and such can be completely confusing and if I don't know what or who you are talking about, I'll lose interest quickly.
As you world build, make sure it is explained in a creative and fun way that will draw your reader into the story and not frustrate them to the point they close the book.
Thanks beautiful guys and dolls! I will take the few Wednesday's WIP'ed Ink to discuss world building and finish up the blog hop I am missing (that I regret terribly and I am really sorry for missing out...)
If you came here today to read the explanation of yesterday's pictures, don't be too mad at me...
