World-building questions

Want to create a fictional world with the likes of J.K. Rowling or J.R.R. Tolkien? Well, here's some helpful hints provided by Kate Messner (Source: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-to-build-a-fictional-world-kate-messner)

Questions to ponder:

Start with a basic place/time: What type of story are you writing?

Time line of how the world came to be. What past events made the world as it is now?

What rules are in place here? Laws of gravity? Rules of society? Punishments in place?

What kind of government does this world have? Who has the power? Who doesn’t have any power? What to people believe in here? What does this society value most?

Day to day life: What is the weather like in this world? Where do the inhabitants live/work/go to school? What do they eat? How do they play? How do they treat their young? How do they treat their old? What relationships do they have with the flora/fauna of the world? What do those flora/fauna look like? What kind of technology exists? What types of transportation? What types of communication? What types of access to information?

How does this world I created effect the characters set into it? What kinds of conflict will emerge?

Enjoy imagining your incredible world! :)

Two Steps From Hell - Rise Above

Breathtaking stuff :D

Two Steps From Hell - Cannon in D Minor

This is seriously one of the most energetic epic music that I've heard that has some dubstep/techno stuff in it. AWESOME!

Two Steps From Hell - Star Sky

Lyrics:

Here we are
Riding the sky
Painting the night with sun
You and I, Mirrors of light
Twin flames of fire
Lit in another time and place

I knew your name
I knew your face
Your love and grace
Past and present now embrace
Worlds collide in inner space
Unstoppable, the song we play

Burn the page for me
I cannot erase the time of sleep
I cannot be loved so set me free
I cannot deliver your love
Or caress your soul so
turn that page for me
I cannot embrace the touch that you give
I cannot find solice in your words
I cannot deliver you your love
or caress your soul

Age to age
I feel the call
Memory of future dreams
You and I, riding the sky
Keeping the fire bright
From another time and place

I know your name
I know your face
Your touch and grace
All of time can not erase
What our hearts remember stays
Forever on a song we play

Burn the page for me
I cannot erase the time of sleep
I cannot be loved so set me free
I cannot deliver your love
Or caress your soul so
turn that page for me
I cannot embrace the touch that you give
I cannot find solice in your words
I cannot deliver you your love
or caress your soul

Word Count Tools

Fun stuff! Unlike other word count tools that I've used, some of which are pretty darn awesome, but this tool won the top prize for being amazingly comprehensive.

I've never known anything about "readability" until I posted something up for word counting on this site... and it told me that my writing can be easily understood by people with a college education and above. And then there's the Dale-Chall readability score. Seriously, I've learned loads from the stats and it's rather fun to know what level my writing is :P

Here's a nifty screenshot of the stats of one of my game reviews. :P

Very interesting stuff :)

If you have anything that you've written... an essay, an article or any written work, do paste it in teh box below and try it out. :) Find out more about your writing style!
