Worldbuilding

Worldbuilding is the process of creating a fictional universe.

The approach I’m taking to building worlds is:

• combine something mundane with something unusual (e.g. rain that falls upwards)
• answer any questions that arise (e.g. How do fish live in this world?)

When I worldbuild, I try to first establish a story, then let the gaps in the setting guide the worldbuilding. The fictional universes I’m building are the New Salem Universe and the Beauchêne Universe.
