This is particularly true if your created world is very different from our own. The closer the resemblance your world has to the one we live in, the less you have to explain - your reader already knows how things work. <br /><br />Even in other genres there may be (to a smaller degree) world building. An example of this is when you design a fictitious town. Many of the rules are already in place, but there will be certain eccentricities in the town that give it a "personality" that will be described by the writer.<br /><br />LOL, my TBR shelf is ever-growing too.

I have a new appreciation of the genre. Of course, that means I have even more books on my TBR list.<br /><br /><a href="http://patriciastoltey.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Patricia</a>Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.com
