The Impossible Art of Worldbuilding

Описание: WORLD-BUILDING-- the art of designing a fictional world-- is an often-overlooked art, but, with the recent rise of fantasy series and connected fictional universes, World-Building has become a super, super useful term in understanding how modern works are made.

But the scale of Worldbuilding is utterly staggering and for writers and other artists new to it, it can seem completely overwhelming. In fact, it begins to seem rather absurd that we even try to do it at all... But that doesn't mean we won't try!

So... how does an author create a Fictional World so convincing that we’re to believe it’s a real place and sympathize with its characters and nations? How do you build a world?
