Worldbuilding is among my favorite activities as a writer. I really enjoy the art of cobbling together a believable setting.

A ConWorld is the result of worldbuilding. This term is a bit dated. Its use is rather rare now. ‘ConWorld’ is short for Constructed World.

Personally, most of my worldbuilding begins with a short piece of fiction. I get the idea in my head, I write it out, and if it’s something I find really compelling, or something I can see myself continuing beyond the one story, that’s when I start to set up my new ConWorld.

Important Elements in Worldbuilding:

• Geography

• Cities

• Countries

• Cultures

• Societies

• Governments

• Factions

• Historical events

• Timelines

• Systems (Magic, technology, government, commerce, etc)

• Religions and Belief Systems

• Prominent Figures (influential characters)

That’s just to name a few of the elements involved. I’ll be posting thoughts and tips for writers who are interested in creating their own ConWorlds on a fairly regular basis.

This is an area of English composition in which I have considerable experience and knowledge.
