my book is well underway and i'm really enjoying the story but you see i kinda went in half a**ed. i got the story first and it came so clear, i know exactly how it ends and the entire journey. somethings have changed but it stays true to the story. ok now about my problem, i want my world to be different unlike most fantasies with medieval settings or what ever. the world is not earth and i don't want to go for castles and all that regular stuff, where the story takes place is also a theocracy. i was thinking of using egypt for influences and other cultures to come up with something new, i'm still doing research and stuff but what i'm getting at is i can't see my world. i can close my eyes and see the characters clearly acting out this story but around them is emptiness or just a few shapes so i've been just using whats necessary until i finally 'see' it and omit most of the descriptions for the surrounding focusing on the story alone. do you think this is wise? should i take a hiatus from writing and try to imagine my world before continuing or carry on and when it comes i fill in?
