Today's Topic – Welcome J.B. to the forge

A stellar student in high school and college, Mr. Lion always had a knack for creative and professional writing. Those traits would come in handy as he spent most of his adult years a project manager, travelling the world implementing transit technology.

During this time, he never stopped writing short stories which he kept in several notebooks over a span of 15 years. The primary theme of these stories culminated from a simple game he would play with his two sons to pass the time. The game centered around three different societies, each one trying to outmaneuver one another for control of the universe.

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

Please Subscribe, Rate and Review us on iTunes

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
