Worldbuilding
I signed up for the worldbuilding dare at Forward Motion. This time I signed up for the Master Level - 8000 words... and I'm nearly done. I'm surprised though... this isn't nearly enough to do even my characterizations. I have a long worksheet I compiled of questions to ask myself about each character. I'm enjoying getting to know these people better before I start to write my novel. I wish I had six months to plan this novel - instead of one.Today I told a small group of local people about my intention to write about our small town. Nobody objected! My landlady was there and pointed out I'd need lots of help from people who lived here during the 1990's.. she was laughing and told me she could tell me a lot of things about it.
I do plan to interview as many people as possible about this - and to read all the newspaper accounts of events here at that time. Though my characters are purely fictional I want the facts of what happened here to be known.
