Worldbuilding is among my favorite activities as a writer. I really enjoy the art of cobbling together a believable setting.
A ConWorld is the result of worldbuilding. This term is a bit dated. Its use is rather rare now. ‘ConWorld’ is short for Constructed World.
Personally, most of my worldbuilding begins with a short piece of fiction. I get the idea in my head, I write it out, and if it’s something I find really compelling, or something I can see myself continuing beyond the one story, that’s when I start to set up my new ConWorld.
Important Elements in Worldbuilding:
- Geography
- Cities
- Countries
- Cultures
- Societies
- Governments
- Factions
- Historical events
- Timelines
- Systems (Magic, technology, government, commerce, etc)
- Religions and Belief Systems
- Prominent Figures (influential characters)
That’s just to name a few of the elements involved. I’ll be posting thoughts and tips for writers who are interested in creating their own ConWorlds on a fairly regular basis.
This is an area of English composition in which I have considerable experience and knowledge.
