Make your world believable, so the audience wants to be a part of it.
One of the greatest joys in writing for me is worldbuilding. For those who may not know, worldbuilding is the multi-layered process of using your imagination to create a world or entire universe. In fiction, cinema, and television, this process helps the audience get lost in the story and focus only on the narrative at hand.
It happens every time you sit down to write anything. You have to establish the tone, rules of the world, and even set audience expectations.
So how can you improve on your worldbuilding skills?
The simple answer is to just write a lot more.
But as your writing, I wanted to come up with eleven tips to keep in mind. You don’t have to use all of them. You may use three or four of these tips at a time to get your point across. These ideas are all skewed around you building the best world possible.
Check them out below.
