We went to you for questions about world building, and you had some really good ones. The questions are listed below, and our answers are secreted within MP3 file.
- Has there ever been a piece of world building that you didn’t include, and regretted not including?
- How do you remain consistent?
- How do you decide between writing a secondary world fantasy, and creating an historical fantasy?
- Can you avoid cultural appropriation while still using elements inspired by other cultures?
- (This one is getting a can of worms: there’s an entire episode on cultural appropriation coming up)
- What’s the minimum amount of world building required?

Our next master class episodes are on description. Take a scene that includes some things that you’ve world-built, and rewrite that scene using completely different words.
