Views on Worldbuilding

Filed Under Worldbuilding | Leave a Comment

I scuttle around the web, looking for articles about worldbuilding. Most of the ones I find are simply a blog writer’s opinions of the worldbuilding in a novel or story. Once in a while, however, I find a gem or two.

Speculative Horizons has an article (blog entry, actually) about making and breaking worlds. It’s not a how-to article, but an examination of how different authors have done worldbuilding in their work. It makes for an excellent read.

I think the most important thing we can take from this article is: “And perhaps most importantly, reveals their world without interrupting the story.”
