    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!
    Jen

    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!

    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. :)

    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

    In my latest book, the death of a close friend is the stimulus. I like how detailed the world you've created is
