Consider how you would talk to your partner, your sibling, or someone at work. You might have different jokes that Having a unique world starts with the geography of that world. The geography of your world will dictate the climate of your world, your character’s homes and cities, and aspects of the way they interact with that world. It’s the foundation to any good worldbuilding, and the beauty of it is you can go as complex or as simple as you like!

This month in my newsletter Writing on Caffeine, I’m looking at where you can draw inspiration for your worlds, how to link your magic system to your geography, and different ways to introduce your world to your readers.
