Personally I use a loose leaf binder of sorts in any project I do where I have physical notes. It helps in not bothering too much with "budgeted" or allocated world building. And sometimes place X will need ten times the amount of world building compared to place Y.

Ideas are cheap. Very cheap. An idea is never what makes or breaks a good read, it's all about how it's executed/written. You can write a 500 page story on a person's first day at his/her new job, and you can write a 100 page story that spans millenia of your fantasy world. It is definitely not...

It very much reminds me of the palantir balls from Tolkien's universe, the idea in the original post (palantir in Elvish means far-seeing). If you don't want a name that simply says what the object is/looks like, then go for a completely unconnected name maybe? If the origin of your object is...

If you don't mind it being less tailored for writing, I'd suggest simply using Google Docs for what you want to achieve. There are folder hierarchies and all that built in, but requires a few extra clicks to switch inbetween fast enough. But if you're concerned with the longevity of a service...

I'm happy you decided to do this. It's a great step to a managable start, and I'm sure you'll find it very rewarding! Isla Nublar would have the same climate as Costa Rica. My first suggestion would be to read up on the climate for Costa Rica. The climate is, as you know, tropical, which means...

To share some of my personal experience with writing with you OP: I have an idea that I love, that I want to have as my first finished novel/novella. I've had this idea since before I joined these forums. I have a written a grand total of almost 1,000 words on that project, during all these...

I think you may be stressing yourself out a bit with preconception of supposed progress. You've been asking a whole heap of questions the last week or two, which is great. You've received alot of replies in your threads because your questions are questions that many aspiring authors have to ask...

Hey Devor! I checked them out and feel like I want and can help you with the wordmark for a future submission. The wordmark/branding should always represent the product, and since the product is still in its early stages, there's no need for detailed limits on a wordmark at this point...

The proposal DISLAIMER: I want the thread to primarily be a resource of inspiration, insight and learning about design- and revision processes, rather than come off as a true service thread. Hence why it's posted here rather than in the services sub forum. I'm preparing to add an additional...

A not too uncommon a practice is for hardcover books to have that kind of clean old styling as the hardcover itself, enveloped by the more modern image/illustration cover as a dustjacket. I tend to agree with you, and will want my future published work to have simple plain hardcovers.

I like it overall. There are two things I'm not sold on, of which one I'll give some advice for. The juxtaposition between the two halves in the illustration feels like it needs a little something extra to get that fantastic symbiotic marriage going. The border feels a bit too sharp for me to...

The fonts look way better now that they're all in tune. Woopwoop!

I like them overall, but the font bugs me slightly--or rather, the consistency. ISTO looks forcefully stretched, while SOVEREIGN looks uncomfortably squished. And while I guess that the directional light on ISTO comes from the cover art fire rather than the normal top-right as the other ones...

Definitely not! Just asked for the consistency :) Neither of us will ever sound native, but we can do our best to have consistency in our pronounciation, and lean towards an accent rather than mixing it up. Non native voices have their charm aswell and it can even be an added bonus to some books.

Hey MÃ¥ns! If you would care for some advice and thoughts, open the spoiler below.
