World Building Essay

Two weeks ago I presented an essay on world building in fiction at Hamline University, with an emphasis on science fiction and fantasy fiction. I've just posted it on my scribd page for public consumption. Click here to stroll through the tunnels of my mind, if ye be brave!

Good stuff pal, very interesting essay, I enjoyed reading it. I've always thought that was one of the most interesting parts of elaborate fantasy/science fiction...how the hell did the author come up with this? I think it was Flannery O'Connor who said that she never knew how her stories were going to end until she finished writing them. Good stuff.
