    Not really trying to become a writer, but I have lots of worldbuilding ideas that I wish I could make interesting to others. I wish I could draw, but there’s a hard limit to what I can do visually, so I’ve had to fall back to writing, sort of. I like writing short character interactions or even just descriptions of an environment, the sort of stuff people would draw.

      I have been writing short stories, manuals, news paper articles and wiki like entries in a universe I have been making up for over 7 years now.

      While some of the older works are a little out of sync with the current rules and history, I finally found the story in it that I wanted to tell all along!

      A month ago it suddenly came to me and the independent stories fell into one big story. The twenty characters collapsed to like five and I have a consistent story outline. It was cathartic!

      I really thought I would never make it this far! Something like that can happen even if you just write little pieces. No matter your goal if that happens it is very satisfying.
