Actually, quite a bit can be found in a name. Talking about world building again. Probably going to be talking about it for a while. That’s because there is something about answering all of those nit-picking little questions with details and reasons why that spur the imagination to finding new connections.

The problem is that they are scattered all over the place in files and in my personal writings. Putting them all in one book won’t help. This is a job for visual representation. Seeing it, is instantaneous access. I have strange desire to make some crazy flow charts and those over lapping circle things that show you how certain elements in certain sets interconnect.

Interesting, but discouraging too. Its like juggling. Lots of balls in the air. Plot, character development, this crazy world building stuff–I haven’t even got to description in my draft yet, or metaphor, or sensory details, or emotional temperature, or just lyric prose. Let alone that horrible synopsis I need to get to work on. Sometime.

I don’t know. It’s going to take forever. Absolutely, forever to get something out of this. The draft was hard. This is just as hard as the draft. Tiny spoonfuls of sand to move an entire desert.
