Today's Topic –  Themeing your world.

World and theme: How your world should speak to your message

Please Subscribe, Rate and Review us on iTunes
For complete Fantasy Worldbuilding, show notes go to Gardul.com

Podcast Show Flow

• What is your message? Theme or sub-text (this could be the whole show really)
  • Examples: Dune: Struggle, Wonderland/Oz :Wonder and escapism
• Physical characteristics of your world can(should?) be metaphors for the conflicts of the characters within it
• Re-examine. Why do you want the world to be a certain way? Does is align with the story/message you are trying to tell?
• Change what needs to. This does not mean strapping a bunch of hard-worked world building, it could simply be a matter of changing a reason for things to be the way they are. Re-framing is a powerful tool in worldbuilding and in life. Broken wine glass story

WBT

Make sure your messaging makes sense
