This week <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>she asks some great questions for world building your series.<\/strong><\/span> We&#8217;re curious to hear your tips too! Share your thoughts with us! Thanks!<\/p>\n<p>*^*<\/p>\n<p>You have an idea for a series, a whole world unto itself, whether it be contemporary, fantasy, sci-fi or historical. But where do you begin and how will your idea spawn not one, but many books around some central theme?<\/p>\n<p>Before you sit down and busily start to get the first chapter down, <strong>stop<\/strong>. Be smart and consider the following list. Know where you want to go so you don\u2019t have to come back and backtrack, and yes, pantsers, this will work for you (so said the queen of all pantsers, <strong>me<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Series Worldbuilding &#8212; List of Things to Consider<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Is this the world as you know it or one past present, but different, or future? Will your world co-exist with our current world or will it be different, play by new rules? If so, what are those rules? If it\u2019s in the past, have you done your research about dialect, clothing, customs, conditions, activities and occupations for daily living? Is it a time travel? If so, how will you best contrast the dichotomy?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Are your characters human beings or those with special powers, category beings (i.e., vampires, witches, angels, zombies, demons, etc?), or a totally new category?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">If your characters look like humans but have powers, what are those powers? Is there a limit or an Achilles heel? If they fall into a category of beings, do they act like the stereotype of those in other novels, or do your beings look or act differently? If they do, bring that out early. Are they in a new category? If so, how do you describe them and how do you suspend belief?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Items, terrain, locations, special features that remain in all books?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">What is the glue that holds this series together, the constants? Think of one or a small number. In my series now in progress, the series centers around the holy book, The Book of the Beginning. If you use the same locations each time, make sure these locations, their places, etc., stay the same in each book.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do the Hero and Heroine stay the same in every book or do they change?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">If the hero and heroine are the same, how will you ensure that they can hold your readers from book to book? What is suspenseful that continues to propel readers forward? If hero and heroine change, what continuity do you bring over from earlier books?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Tone of the books\u2014needs to stay similar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">You can\u2019t have one dark and one light, one funny and one somber, one sweet and one ultra hot. The books need to be smooth like a nice glass of wine or a great piece of jazz music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Keeping all the characters straight\u2014do you have them written down somewhere, including physical and personality details?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">This is very hard after you write 80-1000,000 words times three or four or five. Write down all your characters, their idiosyncrasies, their traits so you can reference to make sure they stay the same. Even if they\u2019re short-term in the book or the series, you need to keep track of the names and using the same letters, etc. Consider doing some backstory, other things about what make them who they are. You may want to do a companion book like Sherrilyn Kenyon did for the Dark Hunter series.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Website\u2014does your world have its own distinct website?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">This may be a good idea if the series is long. I have one for my Book of the Beginning series. It\u2019s not complete yet, but will be as the first book debuts. Always be ready to greet your readers and fans with information to whet their reading appetites.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I hope this has gotten you to start thinking, or maybe a single title sounds real good about now\u2026<\/p>\n<p>^*^<\/p>\n<p><em>Bobbye Terry is the multi-published writer of fantasy, suspense and romantic comedy novels under her own name, her solo pseudonym, Daryn Cross, and her co-authored one, Terry Campbell.
