Greetings Everyone!
I am a hobby writer. Quite casual in my storytelling, however in January of 2015 I began to endeavor in earnest to write, or rater create, a world that I personally find intriguing. It began as a cliche tavern scene that by page 3 had introduced so many ideas that I became infatuated with the workings of the outside world. I began to World Build, but have never had any real experience with doing so before.
Now, I find myself in a rut. I have a decent amount for the casual amount of time I put into the work, but there's no real organization or even sense of direction when I sit down to develop more. I am not very creative, to be honest, which compounds the problem. I already have an idea of what story I want to tell, but I want a fully fleshed world before I dive in so I don't contradict myself through the telling like I did in my first attempt at writing a book, (different story, different world,).
My question is - how do I develop a good, creative world through a logical process? Are there steps I should follow that would help me not be so scattered while still being able to get into the nooks and crannies? Do you guys have any tips with World Building that might help me focus on the task at hand? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. If you need any further information from me, please let me know and I will provide what I can.
