Typically when I write a novel it simply starts with the first draft. Maybe I'll write notes here and there before I begin but I usually don't do any outline because I feel it blocks me from writing as freely as id like. This is for the first draft only. It usually comes after I get really...

I wish they made a civ style game that was pure fantasy and customizable, I know there are mods but a more streamlined game in that approach would be fantastic! Like Beyond Earth, it could be a little spin off atleast :)

It really doesn't have to be more complicated than it needs to be, you need to plot out main events for your story, how the environment will effect and influence the plot points, and shape your world more around that. Write your first couple of drafts, that will give you an idea of where it...

For my world I've created a race called the Chucua. They mainly inhabit islands and like to keep to themselves, though the people in my story have enslaved a large number of them. They are very large and monkey like people, with huge ears, natural warriors, and very religious. I kinda liken them...

I like the idea of learning about the world through in-book books, or songs or stories told by other characters, as long as it's not overly long and complicated. As a reader I get really annoyed when I'm forced to read information about the world that I could care less about

For sure, there are a ton of ways to approach it, it's going to be a lot of fun to put together. Thanks for the info!

That's a breath of fresh air for that type of species.... Very interesting

Some fantastic answers here that have certainly helped get my imagination flowing. It sounds a lot less inciting when I put it down into writing, but in my head it seems really exciting. What I basically picture is that my nation, Entrisen, has 3 provinces that elect their champion to compete to...

Writing a novel and have quite an interesting world involved that I've created, not sure where it will go, but it's still in early stages. My question involves the leader of this certain nation my story takes place. I've always had an idea that they choose their leader through some sort of...
