World Building Thought/Question: What is the stimulus in the world that starts the story or the character in motion?

Hi Tyrean!
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day. This is a fun theme! I like the idea of creating a glossary of terms and characters for your novel. I'll keep that idea tucked away. May use it for my own some day!
The world building question is really good. I forget a lot of times that the setting, the world, IS a character and SHOULD affect the characters and the story.
Cheers!

Wow! Thanks, Jen! I needed your comment today. :)
That is a great question. It can be easy to become so enamored with the world you build that you forget to build in a crisis or change moment that means this story could only happen in this milieu. Great food for thought!
Thanks, Laurel! Glad you liked the question. :)
I used war in two of my books.
I noticed, but I don't think that was the only stimulus - the whole teleportation aspect I think stimulated quite a bit of the story too. :)
Thank you! Nice to meet you too. :)
Oooh, you keep making me think! Hmm I would have to go with betrayal and pain? I have to give this more thought.
When I finally get to start reading The Champion trilogy, I have to come stalk your A to Z. I'm sure I'll have a lot "uh-huh!" moments. I find that exciting! To find out more through your blog about "people" I know. :D
SK - Cool. :)
In my latest book, the death of a close friend is the stimulus. I like how detailed the world you've created is
Thanks, Nigel!
