@raynayler @rosamund Could you repost the link for the article mentioned? It was limited viewing / not visible to everyone. I’m enjoying this discussion, and am curious what the article said. 😁

@Kiraofthewind1 Here’s an image of part of the intro. I find it interesting, his take on what these genres are “really” about. Fantasy: Finding the magic in the world and in ourselves to turn life into art.

@Kiraofthewind1 Here’s a book I thought was pretty interesting, looking at genres as views of life. I’ve only just started reading it, but the intro really grabbed me. What are your thoughts on it? https://t.co/aAlkvLmtM4

@jvscribbles I’m sorry you’re going through this, and am also very glad you have the support of your loving family, and are seeing light at the end! Hugs to you!

@Kiraofthewind1 I’ve been in hotels where they had a sign that said something to the effect of leave your towel on floor (not hung up) if you want it replaced. Essentially, they took a neatly hung towel as a sign you didn’t need a new one. It was cool, a way to avoid wasted resources.

@Alexander_Shaq @Kiraofthewind1 BTW - love this idea (of sending waste to the impoverished), what a great story! And so many possibilities for plots, characters, societal expectations, hero quests, and more!

[Natalie D Beversluis @Piodengr]

@Kiraofthewind1 Love this!!!

[Natalie D Beversluis @Piodengr]

@Alexander_Shaq @Kiraofthewind1 … now if I would only take my own advice … 😅

[Natalie D Beversluis @Piodengr]

@Alexander_Shaq @Kiraofthewind1 If you’re just starting out with worldbuilding, I’d say just write your story, don’t worry about how weird it is or explaining things for the first draft, no matter how different from our world. Just get the story down. Explanations / continuity can come later in editing phases.

[Natalie D Beversluis @Piodengr]

@Kiraofthewind1 @Alexander_Shaq Good thread! I think “unnecessary detail” says it all. If it’s core to the feel of your writing, go ahead and add the minutia/ gory details. Or if it’s unique to your world, or shows a different perspective on life, I say add it.
