The rest of your world continues on without your MC

              While your main character is the most important character of the whole piece (if not for them, why would we be here?) that doesn’t mean that the rest of their world stops when they aren’t there to witness it. If a tree falls in your fictional world and your MC isn’t around to hear it, it still makes a sound.

              I tend to see a lot of side characters who are always placed perfectly where the MC needs them, just standing there and waiting around to be talked to like a quest-giving NPC with a bright yellow exclamation point over their head. While they’re really just there to serve a purpose to the plot, they don’t know that.

              Allowing the world to continue moving beyond and behind your MC is a good way to make your worlds feel more lived in. Give your side characters jobs, homes, hobbies. Maybe your MC calls their best friend in a time of need and they don’t pick up because they’re at swim practice. Or they haven’t paid their phone bill in four months.

              When a character walks into the scene, consider where they had just been. Are they out of breath because the bus nearly made them late? Are they exhausted after a gruelling 8-hour shift? Are they still dressed up because they’re coming in from a fancy house party?

              Knowing the specifics behind where a character was or what they get up to when no readers are watching is important as the author, whether or not you actually write about it in the work, because you’ll find those details manage to imbue themselves. A hint of life—a lived in world.

10 Questions to Ask About your World

What are the common theories about the universe? (Fate, free will, what’s out there? Gods?)

How much does this society know about its world? (how much is explored versus not, are they fully aware of their history or are there things they haven’t discovered yet? What’s beyond their scope?)

What sort of religions or communities exist?

What foods do they eat, what wouldn’t be as normalized?

What traditions do they have? Festivals, celebrations, holidays, etc.

How does the average person spend a Sunday?

Is there a skill that’s expected for people to know? (ex. where I live most people know how to ride a bike) Is there something that would be odd in this society to know?

Do people drive or do they transit or do they walk? How do people get around?

How do people communicate with each other? (Phones, letters, birds, etc.)

What’s something that makes your setting unique or fit specifically for your story?

Good luck!

The Fated Four: fnaf movie style

[aconstantstateofbladerunner]

You guys should go see Furiosa while it’s still in theaters. No, it does not top Greatest Action Film Ever: Fury Road, but it is doing it’s own different thing exceptionally well. That being said, it’s still better than most movies that have come out this year.
