For years on end I've wanted to write a novel, breathing life into a new universe and telling the story of new and interesting characters, the likes of which have kept me up all night when I first discovered novels myself.
Giving in to the demon known as dread and it's cousin, procrastination, I've spent months after months telling myself 'I'll start soon', fapping into the never-ending pit. Deciding to pull myself out of the toxic cycle of avoidance, I've decided to take life by the reigns, and began the long process of learning and creating and improving. I've joined this forum, too, because it's always great to learn and share knowledge with those who understand your plight. Not that I don't love my family, but they don't quite understand the subtle intricacies of worldbuilding, and make for quite the unwilling participants in brainstorming sessions.
I'm looking forward to exchanging knowledge and ideas with others on this platform. Perhaps the history major I'll be starting in a few days might be useful to other worldbuilders out there, too.
I, myself, am rather a fan of character-driven stories. Of characters I can love in interesting settings. Which perhaps brings me to my current dilemma of fitting the characters I've created into a coherent world... Characters are absolutely what drive a story for me, and what make or break my interest, but perhaps in time I'll be able to improve more in areas other than just character development.
I'm always happy to partake in brainstorming sessions, and am more than inclined to start them myself, on occasion. I'm looking forward to a productive time on here together with everyone as we all endeavor oon this long, treacherous road of writing.
