So stoked. Also, a character in your own fiction! Since reading The Sentence, where Louise Erdrich does this, I've been thinking about it a lot. Particularly considering that is the project of memoir and that seems to be the genre pulling me these days.
I've never been into memoir, but even I have ancillary-noticed that people are doing some wild genre-mixing with memoir these days. There are no rules!!!!
What an enlightening, inspired essay! I love worldbuilding, I've been doing it for years and have a few sites and books I return to again and again. Finally decided to build a YouTube channel around it actually. If you'd ever like any tips/free resources, just holler. 'Cause I love free, and I LOVE talking worldbuilding!
Thanks for sharing this behind the scenes glimpse with us!
Oooo, thank you Carolyn! If I get stuck I will definitely reach out! I've never done world building on a scale like this before, and fully expect that I'm going to do it lots wrong before I do it sort of right. 😊 Would you mind sharing the link to your YouTube channel?? I'd love to check it out. I have been toying with the idea of making videos......
