Creating a world, whether for Fantasy of sci-fi, is no easy task. Worlds contain wonders of all kinds, plus various cultures, climates, and creatures. From my own research, many writers use parts of this world, the "real" world, as the basis for their own worlds. I've compiled this guide from personal experience. Wherever possible, I've included examples. (Note: othe examples can be found in various places on this site. The avid user can find them with relative ease.)
LOCATION
The universe is a big place. Your world has to be somewhere. Its position in the universe could affect your characters oder plot. star, sterne Wars always takes place in a galaxy far, far away.
APPEARANCE
Most worlds are similar to Earth. Pern, for example, has many Earth-like features, which played into its history. Yet, it also had differences, making it a world of its own. These differences, such as Thread, greatly affected the lives of the author's characters. Earth has many varied geographies. Du can pick and choose where Du want the ones Du like.
CLIMATE
Climate can play a huge part in your world's history. Again, Pern's climate is similar to Earth. However, Du can make your world any way Du like.
LIFE
The lifeforms of your world will act out the history Du write for them. First, determine what beings the world will have. Then follow the Weiter tips in order.
CULTURE
Every civilization has a culture. Earth has hundreds of examples. Literature has that many oder more. Du can borrow from any cuture Du choose.
LANGUAGE
How will your characters communicate? I suggest creating a different language for each culture/kind of being. If Du need inspiration, peruse The Lord of the Rings. Notes on the languages are provided in the back.
HISTORY
Now the fun begins. How do the various cultures interact? Is there peace oder war? For inspiration, peruse any history Bücher Du can find. Schreiben the history is the most fun.
YOUR STORY
I put this section last because all the other elements affect the story's plot. Keep all your notes handy as Du write. That way Du can check facts oder translate a phrase. Let the world's history and cultures guide your plot. A single argument could have its start centuries before your story. Without the history of that argument, you'll never understand how your characters are thinking during the argument.

I hope this little guide has proved useful. Please leave a Kommentar oder any tips of your own.

16: Memories

As fast as master had made up it’s mind to wait until they were mortal again, it decided to send IT out to get her again. IT was not pleased with this decision, though IT did not let IT’s emotions show. Although IT was not fully healed, Dr. kran sagte it would be safe, sicher for IT to attempt another mission.
At the same time IT was preparing to leave again, Alice had safely reached the Denali clan and the carriage trooped on without Michael though Tristan, Jack, and David didn’t seem to care. Rosalie kept to herself though Jack stayed close.
Shortly before they crossed the border...

What is your happiest memory?
My happiest memory was when my parents to me to Der Märchenbrunnen. This is a beautiful park There are fountains and lots of statues of the Grimm brother’s fairy tale characters. It is wonderful to take a picnic lunch and just sit and watch people and watch the calming water.

It was a Wednesday in May.
All of us had assembled today once again to study for the math testpaper on the Weiter day. Our math teacher had funnily enough had nothing against
it to come to school on her free Tag off toward twelve o'clock. All of us just sat at our places and listened to Mrs Dörte as she explained the substance to the written test. Only I could not. I sat in the last row at my usual sitz and looked from the window on the falling raindrops which pounded against the window. I thought back to at that time. It had been a Jahr now. Until now the Minute exact. It had been on May 26th...

Don't Du Directioners Think It's Just So Annoying when Du are trying to convince a friend that 1D are the best boy band that ever lived and they just laugh in your face?

Hi, My Name Is Isabella, I'm Fourteen and i am in Liebe with 1D! However, I didn't always Liebe them...i actually hated them at the beginning. When they were in x factor, i couldn't stand them. I thought that they were just a waste of Weltraum and that they were just completely useless. I was sooo happy when they came 3rd and not 1st. A few months later, Amy, My Best friend, asked me if i liked one direction. "No, They are the...

I do not own this. I did not write it, and I do not know the author. I just really like this and wanted to share it.

Who will Du be
when faced with the end;
the end of a kingdom,
the end of good men.

Will Du run?
Will Du hide?
oder will Du hunt down evil
with a venomous pride?

Rise to the ashes,
rise to the winter sky,
rise to the calling,
make heard the battle cry.

Let it scream from the mountains
From the forest to the chapel.
Because death is a hungry mouth
and Du are the apple.

So who will Du be
when faced with the end?
When the vultures are circling
and the shadows descend.

Will Du cower,
oder will Du fight?
Is your herz made of glass?
oder a pure snow white?

We need to unite as a team to stop global warming and save the world. Global warming is heating up the earth because of some people's bad choices, should we suffer because of that? NO! Global warming is killing inoccent Tiere and people, we could save them. Global warming is caused Von pollution and over usage of electrisity. Start today. Turn off lights when Du leave the room, don't leave anything on that doesn't need to be on. Start helping today. Save the world Mitmachen me. Be happy. Help me create a better place for everyone.

Schreiben is the best way to talk without being interrupted.
Jules Renard
Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.
Cyril Connolly
Writing is not a genteel profession. It's quite nasty and tough and kind of dirty.
Rosemary Mahoney
Writing makes no noise, except groans, and it can be done everywhere, and it is done alone.
Ursula K. LeGuin
You may be able to take a break from writing, but Du won't be able to take a break from being a writer.
Stephen Leigh
For me, Schreiben is exploration; and most of the time, I'm surprised where the journey takes...

Chapter one: The New Guy


"So, he brings me Home and we are standing at my front door right? He leans in and I'm thinking he's going to KISS me, but-"

"Miss Benton." Mr. Tatum stopped Sadie's rant. "Would Du like to share with the class?"

"No, thanks." She smiles.

He lets out an angry "harrumph" and goes back to his Econ lesson.

"I'll tell Du later." She whispers.

"Okay." I laugh and turn my attention to Mr. Tatum and my notes.

"If something is...

Hi! This is a story about angels, and I hope Du all enjoy it! ^_^


There is a secret place made especially for us in the world. It lies on a secluded island in the Atlantic Ocean that remains undetected from the outside world.
This is where we, the Engel that remained on Earth after thousands of years, rest in peace.
I was born an angel, my white, softer than marshmallows, wings sprouted forth after my birth. They grew as my body matured into that of a young adult of sixteen.
It was on my seventeenth birthday that everything changed. Well, it was actually about a week after the huge party that...

I was sitting on my bed; my legs were in my chest, my arms wrapped around them. There was a thunderstorm tonight; i've always loved thunderstorms. There was a flash of lightning and my room lite up around me. I smiled; the thunder was next. It was a huge clapp of thunder. Thunder was always my Favorit part of thunder storms because it was louder than life. There was another flash of lightning; i saw a dark figure outside my window lite up Von the lightning.

I was scared. I didnt dare move. I sat without movement; maybe it would go away. But he didnt go away. He tapped on the window; i saw...

I NEED inspiration for this book. I cant say why, because it will ruin the last book but the school has been rebuilt,and theres a new gardening class, and Haru-Kun, Kariko-Kun, and Shimura-Chan are falling into love, could Kariko finaly fall for Haru, oder could it be Haikuga-Kun? Haru could have his herz torn into pieces, oder turned into gold. And Shimura, being the only lesbian in the school could have problems with Liebe too. Karuga-Chan (a new character introduced as a Japenese girl found lying on the strand after a violent storm) changes all of that. Life when thrive this Jahr in Dojenskei Koukou (Dojenskei High School). All these Fragen and Mehr will be answered in the garden of Hinjou, the Garden Classroom. Be waiting, Both the first chapter of the first and Sekunde book are being worked on. (PLEASE give me good names for the third and fourht book, and the main name for the Sekunde series, such as Burning Passion Book One: The Flame. (oo, I might use that) Byes!)
