“Do you need to think bigger? Do you need to think of a map that would encompass all of your story worlds, and maybe they're all connected.”


In this How To Write the Future episode, “How do I rein in all my ideas? (Q&A),” host Beth Barany answers a listener’s question on how to manage so many ideas for your story and hint: it has something to do with setting boundaries for your story worlds. Beth also shares how you can get your copy of her “World Building Workbook For Fiction Writers.”
