What’s stopping you from writing fiction?

Perhaps it’s how to build a world that enhances your story. Today’s guest is bringing everything we need to know about worldbuilding.
 
Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, an extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference held in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mts of NC. I’m your host, Linda Goldfarb. Each week, I bring tips and strategies from writing and publishing industry experts to help you excel in your craft. I’m so glad you’re listening in. During this episode, my guest shares what you need to know about  Fiction Worldbuilding.

My industry expert is… A.C. Williams, A.C. known to many of us as Amy, is a coffee-drinking, sushi-eating, story-telling nerd who loves cats, country living, and all things Japanese. Author of 17 books, she keeps her fiction readers laughing with wildly imaginative adventures about samurai superheroes, clumsy church secretaries, and goofy malfunctioning androids; her non-fiction readers laugh at her, and the hysterical life experiences she’s survived. If that’s your cup of tea (or coffee), join the fun at www.amycwilliams.com.   

1. When I think of worldbuilding, I automatically lean toward Fantasy and Sci-Fi. Is that correct? 

2. Three highly suggested actions to build a believable world: 

• Research, research, research. 
• Use the real world as inspiration – travel to a destination. 
• Use what you already have experienced. 

3. What’s the most important element in worldbuilding? 

4. What is the double use for worldbuilding?
