First Thoughts + Creating a Land, Not a World

This is an amazing opportunity to do a lot of story creation! And we all like the idea of world development, so…

Drawing a Map

Drawing a map of our fictional land helps us scope the terrain. It gives us a starting place.

When is This?

Let’s nail down that pesky time frame. When does your fictional land exist?

Where Are We?

It’s a question asked by characters throughout the story’s telling. How do we answer?

Light, Sky, Sea, Earth, Food, Creatures

Let’s learn from the Master Author, God! Genesis chapter one gives us a perfect pattern for creating a land.

People, Customs, Speech, Government

These are the elements that define the people of your land as a group.

Spiritual State of the Land

The spiritual state of the land is important because the beliefs of your characters (and the people around them) will determine their actions.

Final Thoughts

Congrats! You have new tools you can use to keep developing your land!
