It's soo easy to become drained.<br /><br />Thanks about my website. I had hoped to have it launched by now but unfortunately Uni and Work got in the way lol. My aim is 1st of July, so just a month behind schedule. <br /><br />BTW I like the concept for your novel named Butter. Does he do it or do we have to read the novel to find out? hehe.Nate Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02066975221348300406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954962135021866321.post-68130483013759966292010-06-18T16:08:09.262-07:002010-06-18T16:08:09.262-07:00oh, and i just saw the website you're working ...oh, and i just saw the website you're working on! i'll be checking that out once it's launched. looks cool! :)erinjadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07209791582504174374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954962135021866321.post-49503844869727923712010-06-18T16:06:15.509-07:002010-06-18T16:06:15.509-07:00you know, it's funny. i don't know if it&#...you know, it's funny. i don't know if it's difficulty or disinterest when it comes to world-building.<br />i think the issue is more about which elements draw me in as a writer. i am compelled to write because of my characters or because i like seeing a concept become a story. i don't get as excited about world building.<br />i DO get excited about reading it though! :)erinjadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07209791582504174374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954962135021866321.post-36774066491818865842010-06-18T15:46:57.941-07:002010-06-18T15:46:57.941-07:00Hehe thanks =)

Is it simply about where to start?<br /><br />As it is one of my passions I love being able to help people with it in any way I can.

Just huge slabs of dialogue that keeps the plot moving, but they themselves are just stuck in the one room, discussing something in detail. <br /><br />Don't worry too much about the world-building - some of the best stories are constructed with subtle hints and passing references. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01445416054945632135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954962135021866321.post-33266123581905077682010-06-17T19:11:34.435-07:002010-06-17T19:11:34.435-07:00Oh, I suck @ world building too.
